Tom was the most upbeat manager I ever met while working at Motorists Insurance. He brought focus, confidence and enthusiasm to projects, which were recognized nationally by industry peers. His family was close to his heart and he would update me on Shelley's latest achievement when I saw him. He will be missed.

Tom is literally the best manager and most caring person that I've ever had at the Motorists Insurance Group!! Always positive, always a smile, always positive words no matter what the situation! Always the most Sincerest. So so sorry to hear this news. It is a pleasure to know and to have worked for you and with you!!
Family- As you know he was a spiritual and positive person and I hope knowing how much he was appreciated and adored brings a little comfort your way.
