I'm sorry to hear of Tom's passing. My condolences to his family. I worked with Tom at Nashua corporation. He was smart, funny, and patient. I enjoyed working with him. I'm sure he'll be missed.

Linda and Sons, The loss of Tom is heartbreaking. Tom was the reason Dan and I started our journey as newly weds in Santa Clara, CA in 1984. Dan left Nashua Corp for TX, but Tom called and gave him a job. We lived in CA for 4 years. We always considered you family, even though we lost touch. Tom was always so proud of his boys and of course his beautiful wife Linda. Dan and Tom spoke a several times over the years. Nashua Corp where they met was a long time ago, but the memories Dan has carry over to now. Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of such a great man who made an impact on another man's life that led to a great success for a lifetime.
Dan and Cathy Davidson, Snyder, TX

Tom was one of my best friends during our school years. When the family moved to Pittsfield in the 1970's we were all very sad. We had some of the best times in our young years together. From fishing, camping and canoeing, to building our own rockets and fireworks, radios and crude computers, every Friday night watching Star Trek (in color!), to many other adventures, we had a friendship I will always cherished. The last time we spoke was in 1976, when he called me the night before my wedding, I lost track of Tom when adult life took over in earnest, when we all went off to college, got married, and had kids and jobs. Starting in the early 1990's I would occasionally search for Tom using various internet search engines. I thought Tom, a pioneering nerd, would be among the first people I could connect through this new medium. I finally tracked him down when I found Johnny and my sister found Connie in the Spring of 2024. I called and spoke to Lynn, finding out after all this time, he was too ill to talk to us. We are terribly sorry we never got to reconnect with Tom. He shaped my life in many ways, for which I am profoundly grateful. Thank you Tom.
