Dear Patti,

Steve Basil here. I heard about Tom's passing; I am sorry to hear of your grief. I spoke with your Mom some years back when Mrs. Bishop was still alive. I was going to take them out to lunch, and the old girls were not up to it. I did end up going to see Mrs. Bishop. As you know, Art passed away 2 to 3 years ago now. Please let me know how you are. Steve. 818-992-1646. L.A.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your
time of grief. May your memories bring you
comfort.

I worked with Tom over 30 years ago and have never forgotten him -- a really nice and very bright person whose path I was lucky enough to have crossed. Best wishes to his family at this most difficult time.

Marge and Family,

I had the pleasure of working with Tom at Brunswick, and also working with his mother, who I knew as Maggie, when we both worked for Aetna Insurance, prior to my Brunswick days. Tom and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Marge,
Tom was one of the finest men I have met. I remember all the guidance and mentoring Tom gave me. He truly had a positive influence in my life. I hope you and the girls find peace and may his memory be eternal. God Bless You.

Debra and I are very sad to hear the news about Tom. We both interacted with him in our careers with Brunswick and always had good dealings with him. He was one of the best and brightest accountants we ever met. Our prayers are with you. All best wishes. Ray and Debra Jung

Marge and family,

I worked with Tom for most of his years at Brunswick. A fine man and a good guy. I remember the Cubs game, it was so hot that day. Meghan & Kelly had a great time keeping me cool with their squirt bottles, but only after their dad assured them it was OK to do so. Our most sincere condolences, our prayers are with all of you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, at this difficult time. I have so many wonderful memories of times spent together at "Auntie Mad's". I so clearly remember Tom spending time talking with the Robinson kids. What a special man!

Can't help but recall the very beginnings of the relationship between our families when we all lived on Oriole Avenue. What wonderful memories. My dad always felt close to Tom, and now they can renew their relationship. What a great reunion must be occuring in heaven between Madalyn, Jean, Bill, and now Tom. Our best wishes and prayers go out to the family.

No more pain and no more illness, and your last days were spent with your girls, and one special little guy. How perfect is that? Too soon, for sure, but still perfect. Love you, brother, Patty
