My heart goes out to the Family and Friends of Tom. I know your loss is heartbreaking, and I know Tom has given us all great memories to have forever. I worked with Tom at Campbell Soup in Camden, N.J. I was the new member to the team. Tom took me under his wing and trained me on all that I needed for work, and also gave me tools for life’s challenges. He was a great teacher and a dear friend.

I was very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Tom worked for me at Campbell Soup and I will remember him as cheerful and conscientious. Tom always had a wry comment for the situation, and was a pleasure to work with. My deepest sympathy and condolences to his family.

I worked with Tom at Campbell Soup in Camden. My nickname for him was "twinkletoes" because he was so graceful on his feet. (His nickname for me was TRHSD -- which stood for The Redheaded She Devil -- and if you know me you understand.) We had some very good times both at work and socially.
I will miss his playful sarcasm and his humorous and wry perception of the world and people around him -- which included me.

Tom, as a long-standing and beloved friend and fraternal brother, will be sadly, sadly missed.
We will however smile through the sadness as we fondly remember his generous spirit, his sharp sense of humor, and most poignantly, his strength and dignity during his toughest journey.
With love,

Tom was a wonderful person, always there to help. I remember meeting with Tom and the committee, going through PDE archives and preparing for our 100th year celebration letters. Tom was very dedicated, making long drives to Wharton for these meetings, and contributed much to Pi Delta Epsilon; I will remember Tom fondly.
Mary, prayers are with you and the Jacquette Family. May Tom live on in spirit and may the memories of times spent together bring you peace for a life well lived.

Tom's leadership and fraternal spirit helped sustain Pi Delta Epsilon in countless roles for over thirty years. He truly lived the PDE ideals of culture, honor, loyalty and friendship. He will be greatly missed by all he touched.

Mary, I also have a daughter, Amanda, and I also lost a 59 year young Vietnam veteran husband on 10-25-06. The cause of his cancer was Agent Orange exposure. If I can offer friendship please email me. My sincerest sympathy to you on your loss.
