One of the nicest, most interesting men. He was an avid collector of my artwork and a friend. I stayed in his and Casey's home in Aspen many times. He was handsome, larger than life and just full of mirth and joy - what a great guy he was.

Dear Casey and Family:



My name is Mike O'Neil and I am a Director of Sales with the Hoffmaster Co., Oshkosh, WI. I am in my 21st year with the business. As you know the company that Tom and his Dad built continues to be held in very high regard within our industry. I can tell you that all who work there say that name with pride and honor. Tom wouldn't remember me as well as I remembered him. When I signed on as an entry level sales guy back in the 80's it was my second job out of college. I couldn't believe how fortunate I was to be hired by a company that treated their sales team and employees as well as Hoffmaster did. Tom and his Dad set the bar very high, and there are few companies in our industry that can match the reputation and legacy of The Hoffmaster Company. I have spoken to many of Tom's ex-collegues and shared the news with some long time customers. I hope it brings you and your family some measure of comfort to know that there are many of us out here who you and your immediate family have never known, who share in your grief and sadness.

Regards,

Mike O'Neil-Hoffmaster Co.

Katie,

There are no words adequate to express our sorrow upon Tom's passing. His compassion and generosity was boundless. His love of family and friends unconditional. We have the fondest of memories of our children's wedding and all the years before when TJ and Leslie were at school. All who knew him will miss him greatly. All of our love and support are with you and your family.
