Thomas William Merrifield

My thoughts and prayers go out to ALL of Thomas many, many friends. I worked for Thomas for a short time and shared many wonderful and amazing conversations with him. I will miss him so!
I am only finding out tonight of Thomas's passing. I am so glad he was able to go on that fabulous trip he always wanted to take.
God Blessed you Thomas "TomTom"

..YOU WERE A GOOD HANGER NEIGHBOR AND A GREAT FRIEND-YOU WILL BE MISSED AT ALBERT WHITTED AIRPORT.

Tom was a good friend (brother). We laughed, played, danced and ate. He had such a quick wit, and a great sense of humor, but most of all, I loved his cooking. I will miss him much.

Tom and his banner cubs were an institution at Albert Whitted Airport, and seen by countless thousands of visitors to our area. Our airport community will miss Tom, but his spirit will fly with us forever. I'll always think of him when I see a banner fly.

I worked for Tom back in the late 80's. I'd just gotten my licence and moved to Fl. looking for work. He gave me my first break.
Through good times and bad he was always quick with a joke and made the job a lot of fun.

I met Tom in 1985 when I began working at Albert Whitted Airport. The thing I remember most about Tom is his positive attitude during the good times and the bad times. He always had a joke or a funny story to share. He will be greatly missed.
