Dear Daly family, I served under then Commander Daly on the USS Esteem from 1979 to 1982. I was an Ensign then. I had so much respect for my skipper. Sure he drove me hard, but I learned so much from him. He was an inspiration to me. He was absolutely the finest CO I ever had in my own 30 years in the Navy. Thru is guidance I ended up as a Commander in the Navy at Retirement. My heartfelt condolences to his family

Sorry to learn about Tom's passing. He and I were best friends in elementary school (St. Mary in Plainfield). We also grew up in the same neighborhood, on the Southwest end of Plainfield, near Dunellen. We also went to military academies, in 1964; he to Annapolis, me to the USCGA in New London. We lost track of one another after that. My condolences to Tom's family and friends.

We have a very fond memories of Tom visiting us in San Francisco when he was VP of Tower Group International (then part of the McGraw-Hill Companies, and now renamed FedEx Trade Networks when acquired by FedEx). He took tremendous pride in the company, the city of Buffalo, and the traditions of the U.S. Navy. We even joked that he should relocate here since we already had a city, Daly City, named in his honor.
