Athanasios Dimitropoulos... Tom was my friend and I´ll NEVER forget him. He looked after me when he could and helped me take care of my family and I will NEVER forget that. He made things happen.. moved mountains when nobody else could or would. Love and respect Tom I miss you very much.

I was very saddened and surprised when I accidentally ( a few months later) found out that Tom died. Even though I had not seen him in the recent years Tom was my friend. He always had a positive attitude towards life, an endless great sense of humor and good to be with. He would be missed by many people. May he Rest In Peace

My dear lifelong friend. For decades I watched in amazement your search for more and more knowledge. I am so fortunate to have told you on the phone that day, with Maria at your side, how much I truly love you! I only regret choosing a lifestyle that caused me to drift away from you. My loss My Friend. I will talk with you in Prayer and speak of you out of true and great respect. You were the "Smartest Man" I ever knew. For decades, I watched you work tirelessly to school your children and watch you work into the night chasing your dreams while balancing your budget. I would sit with you between aisles of auto parts with a keyboard on your lap, as you told me your visions. You taught me more than you know. And while I "was away" for over 30 years! "You" visited my Father. I truly Love You Tom! Your True Friend, Wally Paredes, Rosemont, Illinois
