Cathy and Family
I had the pleasure of meeting Tom through my brother Bill
Had some great road trips on our motorcycles. One in particular came to mind on hearing of Tom´s passing. Our road trip to Sturgish SD and standing in the rain with our rain gear on and Tom´s pants were ripped from crotch to ankle. We were all getting a good laugh about that
Condolences to all of you on Tom´s passing

Tom was a great coworker in the Financial Division at Signode and all-around great guy. I was heartbroken to hear of his passing. My condolences to Kathy and all of the family.

I knew Tom from a very young age. My brother's Mark & Kim were very close with the boys, especially Tom & Don. They were great & I have many fond memories of them. My sympathies at the loss of a truly lovely man.
