My sympathies to the Baehl family for your loss in May 2025. I was a classmate of Tom’s at UD 1961-65. He always impressed me with his warmth and caring attitude. I had come to UD from upstate NY and soon fell in love with Ohio and people like Tom. May he rest in the palm of our Lord thru eternity.
God bless you, Tom

"Tommy", as we always called him, was just very special to us, Aunt Betty's kids. He was the first to go to college and then get a Masters, our only role model for higher education. My thoughts and condolences are with you.
