Thomas Patrick "Tom" Hynes Sr.

Meeting him at the Madison School of Music where he changed my life forever.

I was one of Tom's oldest students (1981) that morphed into a lifelong deep friendship.

Words cannot express what he meant to me or how profoundly he affected my life. Half of my soul, my love of music was due to his influence. He will be with me forever and I look forward to seeing him again someday in eternity.
