What sadness to see our classmates leave us. Tom, I have only fond memories of you from St. C. My best to your family in this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Tommy and I were best friends starting in Kindergarten at St. C. Played many rounds of golf together at CCV.
He was such a classy guy and a true Southern Gentleman. I am so sad to hear of his passing.

My prayers are with the family.

I am so sorry to learn of Tommy´s death in a note to members of our StC class (`67). He was one of the nicest in our class. He understood balancing parts of one´s life before most of the rest of us. His smile usually persuaded the most ardent opponents to seriously consider his viewpoint. I´m sure he will be greatly missed by many.

Tom and I were at St. Christopher's together, and we were dedicated golfers then, which was a rarity. We would get together and talk about how St. C needed a high-school golf team and how to make it happen. Tom was the brains behind this, and he also had the connections, but then we would meet with athletic director Bob Herzog, who was the head football coach at the time. And Mr. Herzog, being a non-golfer, would shoot down the idea before we said a word!
Tom was a good classmate and friend at St. Christopher's, and he will be missed.

Oh Gillian. I have only heard ot Tom's passing, of course, through Laura & Ward (and only just this evening, here in KL). What a beautiful obituary included here -- about a man I only knew of through you, and Ward. My heart goes out to you. Sending love and support beyond! Know you will hear from me in person once back in the States (likely as early as October). Hugs xo

Very sorry to lose a friend with a big fun personality, and Yale and U. Va. Law.
My condolences to all his family and friends.
