Tom's quick humor and wit are never to be forgotten. He was always able to make me laugh. He was a good friend. I am so sad to hear of his passing. My heartfelt prayers and sympathy are with his family Tom and I worked together for Philadelphia Life Insurance on a project back in the early 80s. I regard that time as a halcyon period of our lives. He and I were also part of a team that travelled to Dallas and Houston for Tenneco. He was a hard worker and knowledgeable associate. He lives, always smiling, in my memories.

I am so sorry to learn of the death of Tom. I worked with him years ago and he was one of my favorite former co-workers. Upbeat, pleasant, funny--- always a pleasure to talk to. I did not realize until recently all of the good work he accomplished for the benefit of our furry friends. My heartfelt condolences to his family. The world has lost a hero.

Dad, I love you & I will miss you forever. I know how happy you must have been to see mom again, and that you finally have the peace you have deserved. You were the best dad that there ever was, and I will miss all the things we used to do together. I know you and mom will watch over us. <3 K
