Dearest Tom, this year, like the years before, on Memorial Day, I placed flags in the Massachusetts National Cemetary in Bourne. There were over 77,000 flags placed to honor our veterans. I always think of you when I do that. We all miss you very much. VK

On the Saturday before veterans day, hundreds of us planted 80,000 flags at every grave at Massachusetts National Cemetery. One week later we returned to remove them. I felt Tom's presence. He was dedicated to service to others. Miss you Tom.

I worked with Tom for few years in his team. He was a manager with fatherly figure to most of us where we used to get scolded, cared and spoiled by him. He always used to say that we all are going through an experience together, let's work the way to make this experience pleasant for everyone.
You will be always remembered Tom, RIP !
