Thomas D. Mattern

I just learned of Tom's passing. He was a great person and will be missed by all who knew him. I last saw Tom at our 50th class reunion in 2017. I have many fond memories of things that my twin brother, Dick, and I did with Tom while we grew up together in Nappanee. My deepest sympathies to his wife and entire family.

Tom was an around great individual. He was both a fun and serious person. He liked the Marketing Department at Ball State Un. And we very much liked him. Our deep condolences to Becky and his family. Jim Lowry, former chair of the BSU Marketing Department.

A good friend growing up next door to as kids.sympathy to the family.

Becky, Bill, Lisa, the years I spent working with Tom were some of the best of my professional life. A dozen years ago I took my 94 year old mother to her last Nappanee High School reunion. Thanks to hours of travel time with Tom, I had one of the highest scores on the Nappanee History Trivia Game that night. I'll miss his stories, I miss his friendship. I miss the work we shared. But when I hear a good joke, I still hear his laugh. I am so sorry for your loss.

A good neighbor and friend. We will miss him.

Becky, I was sorry and surprised to read of Tom's death in the paper this morning. I am thinking of you, knowing that after 49 years it will be even more difficult to adjust to life without him.

Becky, I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great guy and a good friend. I'm sure he is in a better place working on some crazy deal. Please let me know if I can help with anything. John and Mary Chiazza

Becky & Family, so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.

Tom (and his wife Becky) was a wonderful friend that I had the fortune to know, share travel and culinary experiences with (Toronto!), and laugh at his great sense of humor. Many a meal and good times shared with he and Becky were full of great conversations and he will be missed in this world. My best to Becky and his family.

Really quite a nice guy with a ready smile and creative ideas in a rough and tumble business. He was a regular in the advertising and PR world for many years and a bright spot to those of us who had a chance to work on a project or two with him. Bye, Tom, and thanks for all the insights and help..

Becky,Bill and Lisa.
Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the Mattern family

This is Nancy Pippen Eckerman, Uncle Firm's daughter. I am so sorry to hear this. I feel this deeply and would like to convey my condolences to his siblings, nieces, nephews, etc.
I believe, my memory dims, that Tom was known as Cooksey to the family, as he was always asked Grandmother Pippen for her delicious cookies. Please, let me know when the celebration of his life is planned. I didn't know he followed Formula One. My late ex husband and I attended the Grand Prix of Canada twice. Yours Nancy Pippen Eckerman

He will be missed but never, ever forgotten...RIP cuz
