Tad was many things - raconteur, entertainer, and friend to many. Never at a loss for words, he had a "Walter Mitty" outlook on life. Tad always knew there were 2 sides to every story, and often was involved in both sides simultaneously. This made for some interesting relationships that were many times reconciled with a long story, a smile, and a chuckle. When there were hard feelings Tad was there to broker peace, ususally in an unconventional manner. He had "high hopes," some were realized, others fell short. In success and failure he kept his good humor. Tad was a flawed individual, who nontheless had friends who appreciated and enjoyed his company and "style." This "style" was unmistakable, but not appreciated by all...BUT you can't please eveybody -all of the time. Tad stood out, he won't be forgotten...there were many stories at our 50th reunion on 10/6/22, lots of fond memories and laughs...many of them involved Tad, and were accompanied with smiles and laughter. Way to go Tad! No one ever sad, "Tad who?" Joe Burns RHS '71
