I am so sorry to hear of Tom's death. Tom was my supervisor at NATSF many years ago. He was always kind and patient with me as I learned my job even when I made mistakes. All of his co-workers admired him and his great sense of humor.
After I left NATSF I would see Tom occasionally. He would always stop to say hello and show me the latest picture of his son. He was so proud of him. Tom told me once that being a father was great. He loved his son so much.
Tom will be sorely missed by many people. My husband and I are keeping your family in our prayers. May God bless and comfort you.

You had a blessed and beautiful life together. Your world is full of special memories of your life and adventures together. He was such a good father. My love to Little T. XXOO, Carole and Pat

I sat next to Tom for over a year and half, 3 times a week, just prior to him getting sick. We briefed the leadership at Ft Monmouth. He was a great guy and will be missed.

Tom was a great person and will be sorely missed by all. For me, Tom was my first boss and a good friend throughout my work at NATSF. He was always fair and to the point. I was in shock to hear of his passing. My sympathies go out to his entire family. May he rest in peace.

To Tom's Family,
We were so sorry to hear first of Tom's illness and then of his death. Bill and Tom had been doing a little e-mailing while he was in the hospital. Tom seemed optimistic which led us to be. His sudden death was shocking. We knew Tom from our single days. He was always a gentleman and had a dry sense of humor. Our prayers and thoughts go out to you all.
