Tom, may you rest in peace and the knowledge that friends will always remember you. Our friendship goes back to Roosevelt Jr High School and woodworking class. May you dwell in peace in a far better place.

Tom-we served together in the Reserves for a while. I value what you taught me, personally & about aviation. Thanks.

I was saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He worked at Bristol Labs for many years and I knew him there as well as soldiered with him in the Army Reserves years ago.

I worked with Tom at the Army Liaison office in Syracuse when he was the reserve counselor. He was raised with neighbors of ours on the Onondaga Reservation, the Edwards Family, some of whose members still live at their fathers home today. He was proud of his children, having pictures in his office of his son and daughters.

I know that he will be sorely missed by both his family and many friends. Another friend and coworker, Mr. Paul Drebitko who also works with me at the Army Guidance shop here in Syracuse, mentioned that Tom worked with his father at a unit in Syracuse. I am going to give the obit to our Advertising & Public Affairs Department, in the form of Mr. Murk, so that they will be informed about a former veteran and worker with the Syracuse Recruiting Battalion. My condolences to Tom's family on his passing. He was a great friend and a true gentlemen, he will be sorely missed.
