Thomas J "Tom" Kleespies

I remember Thomas as a great brother-in-law, husband to sister Laurie, father to Katherine, Andrew and Patrick and grandfather to Zach.
He was smart, witty, easy to get along with, loved crossword puzzles and held in high esteem by his peers in the scientific community throughout the world. Tom loved God's creations, to study and learn from them:
The Universe, weather, wildlife, birds as well as his entire family. His time on earth was far too short, but I am convinced that his spirit is now in Heaven and finally at peace from all the pain and suffering due to the cancer treatments, surgeries and other procedures that he went through toward the last few years of his life.

Laurie and family, it seemed like only yesterday I talked to both of you at our class reunion. I am so very sorry to learn about Tom but so glad to have been able to see and visit with him again. He was SO smart and such an athlete! He was always kind to me and his fellow classmates. Again, my deepest condolances, may your memories of your lefe and adventures with him be of solace to you.
