I remember the first morning that Tom walked into the Management Office at Gimbels East ~ a twinkle in his eye and a presence to be admired. His reputation did preceed him. He quickly became a friend, ally and teacher.
My deepest sympathies to all the family.

Papa T, you will forever be. Your life has touched so many in such a positive way. A model for all to keep living life to its fullest, staying positive and putting family first. We miss you terribly, will love you always and you are in our hearts and thoughts every day. All our love, Kim, Matt, Carleigh, David and Ryan

As I was flipping through the NY Times yesterday a familiar face caught my eye. I couldn't believe what I saw. Tom was my boss when I was a Group Manager at Gimbels East. He was a great boss! Tom was supportive, a great teacher and a great merchandiser. I remember that Jude was born during that time! Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

My favorite memory of Tom is watching he & his lovely wife Judy......holding hands & walking in the sun!
