Maura, Lilly, Nick, Erica,

We are really sorry for your loss. Tom was a great friend to me. Although our careers took us in separate directions and our time together lessened, we always kept in touch. We had many common interests that we shared together. I was fortunate to have trained Tom early in his career at the Brunswick Plant in Southport in 1978. He was hungry for knowledge and a pleasure to work with. Tom was very competitive as well and we enjoyed softball, basketball, football, golf, volleyball, riding dirt bikes and the cold beverages that went these activities afterwords. He really loved to beat me on the golf course! Tom was fun to be around and just sit and talk with about anything. I have many fond memories of Tom. I will miss him dearly. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all and you will always have a friend in Vermont or wherever we are. God Bless.
