Tom was my swim coach at Lattoff YMCA. He helped me develop a love for the sport while having fun doing it and inspired me to be a coach myself. My family has a lot of great memories from him and the team. He was a great inspiration, a motivator and an amazing person. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and all who were close with him.

Tom, you fought a brave battle but sometimes I guess it's just best to let Jesus take the wheel. You certainly were a wonderful man, Christmas Eve's will not be the same without you. God Bless You and Keep You

This is from Tom's Sears cell cubicle partner for 6+ years when we both worked in catalog. My heart goes out to Kathy and Tom's 3 children. Your father was incredible and I always thought the world of him.
