I couldn't make it to the visitation but wanted to let the Slattery family know that Tom was a great guy to work with at Tax Airfreight. Together Tom and I worked on decreasing the paperwork issues we were having at the time.He took it upon himself to make it a challenge to improve the system and it worked! He will be missed and my prayers will continue to be for him and the family.

Teri and family, I am very glad to have known Tom and have worked with him at Tax-Air Freight. Tom was a special friend I could relate to because I mysef almost experienced death shortly after Tom got sick the first time. We became close after we both were able to return to work. I will always remember the strength Tom displayed fighting this disease. May the Lord richly bless your family Teri and bring you the peace that passes all understanding. The Buth family

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Tom was a outstanding person and anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, is better off for it. Tom brought allot of cheer and many laughs to our morning Operation team at Tax-Air. I have many fond memories of our early morning discussions, complaints really, about our beloved Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers. Tom fought a good fight, may his strength and courage live on in all of you.
