My deepest condolences to the Schultz family. I took a night class from Tom at ECC, and after graduating and becoming a faculty member I also worked for Tom as a part-time computer operator. Tom was always even-handed and respectful to me and everyone else at ECC as a teacher and a co-worker

So very difficult to say good bye to your dear Dad. The gates of heaven will be wide open to greet this good gentleman as he enters his everlasting home.
He has touched countless people in his lifetime.
Knew him as a neighbor, friend, Marriage Encounter, church committees.
An excellent, enthusiastic baseball player.
Educated & spent years in
serving others as a Catholic Church Deacon.
God bless & thank you. He will live on in his family.

Dear Schultz family: Our life experience greatly deepened when we teamed up with Tom & Gini presenting Marriage Encounter weekends in the '70's. We look forward to celebrating with them at the Lord's table. Shalom

Our deepest condolences to you and your family in the loss of your father. Tom first hired myself at ECC over 40 years ago. My wife and I enjoyed the
Christmas parties and going to the condo in the summer several times. Your
father and mother both counseled us for Pre-Cana before we got married, which he gave a reading at our church. He was a good supervisor and friend.
