I am so sorry for your loss. To know Tom was to love him. He was a great friend to Dom. I remember his smile, always ready to give one. So kind. He leaves behind many many beautiful memories.

Hey Buddy. When my dad died just before you were born, we both were left with a void in our lives that was partially filled by other men: Grandpa Jerry, Uncle Dick and Uncle Jimmy were a few. We just learned that another one of those men with whom we had a special friendship, Tom March, passed away overnight. When I think of him, I smile. I give thanks to God for the way Tom invested in our lives. Please keep his family in your prayers.

Hello March Family

The Miller family just wanted to reach out and send our condolence to you and the extended family. We were so sad to here Mr. March has moved on to his spiritual life .Like the gentlemen and father he is, he will be preparing things for all of us when it is our time to join him.
As events happen like this , I truly feel remorse but in addition I feel warmth in the fact that Mr. March lived a long and successful life with a great balance of family and friends . It's a good time to look back and celebrate his life by sharing great stories and telling some of his clean jokes as you reminisce with your family
As a young man growing up without a father I have had to rely on gentlemen in my life such as Mr. March to draw from as an example to help me figure out how to become a good father with the ability to love and guide. Mr. March was a great example.
Like in the movie It's a wonderful Life A man with family and friends are the richest of all

Take care and be safe

Dear Janet and family:

I am very sorry to learn of Tom's passing. I have fond memories of Tom from our years working together for the Westinghouse Transportation Division and its successor companies. Tom always had a kind word and a witty joke to brighten everyone's day. I have great regard for your family, and also had the pleasure of having known your lovely daughters as classmates at Thomas Jefferson High School.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Pamela (Hamilton) Pape
