I just learned of Tom's passing in the Brentwood Alumni Newsletter. Tom, Scott Thomson and I were good friends in high school, and I remember those days well. Tom was always supportive and encouraging, and a lot of fun. My thoughts and prayers to all of his family, especially Susan and Nancy. It was nice to see some thoughts from other Brentwood alumns.

Tom is remembered too in his former college community - as a caring, sensitive, and joyful friend. We are sad to hear of his sudden passing.

Peggy, Susan, and Nancy,
So sorry to hear of Tom's untimely death, especially so soon after that of Homer. We are glad we got to spend time with him at the reunion in Farrar in 2009.
