MR. Toman inspired me when I was so young at Windsor elementary school. He made me a an athlete . He was always so full of energy and inspiring, he gave me the presidential award. He helped me out from underneath is car when I passed out after receiving an immunization shot in the gym. His car was parked right outside the gym doors. He was a great person and I will never forget him. As a matter of fact this is 51 years before I write this ... I just had a dream of him last night and decided to contact him, but evidently he contacted me first!Love to his family you were blessed to share his life Rj splitt h

Nothing but wonderful memories of an old friend and mentor. Tommy, the word, 'TIGER,' will always have special meaning to me. God bless you and your family!

Tom Toman can be described in one word, dedicated. His passion for teaching, education, creativity and sport were evident in his profession. Having remembered him in physical education classes at Windsor Elementary and him being good friends with my dad, he is someone I always admired for his energy and enthusiasm and getting students to do their very best every time he taught them. Mr. Toman Rest In Peace and know that you have left behind a long and lasting legacy. You will definitely be missed but never forgotten.

Tommy was a great guy and an excellent umpire who I always looked forward to having him as an umpire. He was well known for saying Yes he did, Yes he did when a batter thought he had checked his swing but Tommy said differently!Thanks for being Tommy

Rest in peace, Tom. You were my PE teacher and fellow sports official. I had the pleasure of working my first varsity baseball game with you. It was always a good time with Tom Toman!
