We were sad to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with Tom when he came to Sacramento. We worked together at Intel for a brief period. Tom was always a great person to be with and always full of energy and good will. I know he is greatly missed and I am just one among many because anyone who knew Tom will miss him.

Diane and Family - I just heard the news that Tom passed this AM and am so sorry to hear that. You might remember that we worked together at PW for many years and I (to-this-day)still use some of his sayings and many things that he taught me. He was a great man and friend to me! Our family wishes you peace and sanctity - all the best, you;re in our prayers!

My sincere condolences to Tom's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom while working at Copperweld in the 70s and have wonderful memories from that time. He was a part of the "rat pack" if you will (Del, Paul, Chuck, Dom, Bob, Bernie to name a few) and was as committed to his work and friends as he was to his family. He will be missed by many. Peace.
