There are no words that could describe what a tremendous loss this is for those of us that knew Tom, and for the numerous lives he touched. Tom leaves behind a impressive legacy by the work he did for the labor movement, the incredible devotion to his membership in local 817, the hundreds of children that benefited from a college education that he was innovative enough to collectively bargain for, and the extreme love and devotion he had for his family and friends. I was lucky enough to be counted amongst his friends and Tom was like a father to me and helped mentor me in my personal and professional life. For that I am forever thankful that he would assist me where needed and let me benefit from his friendship and knowledge. To be around Tom was something special and I always felt I was in the company of greatness when we spent time together. He forever changed the way i go about different aspects of my life and I will truly miss him and will always be geatful that he welcomed me into his life with a frienship that I cherished greatly. Tom was the example of the man I hope to be to others that I encounter in life and have the opportunity to assist. I will miss his friendship, his humor, his counsel and his good natured soul.
I wish much peace and comfort to his children and grandchildren during this difficult time and will keep you in my prayers.
