No. 17. Before he retired he joined the firm of Roger Nielson. After he retired, Tom still continued to practice law in some capacity including Magistrate duties. In addition he was a long time instructor for the Paralegal Program at Briarwood College. Tom was a member of the American Judicature Society, American Bar Assoc., National District Attorneys Assoc., National College of Criminal Defense Lawyers and Public Defenders, Assoc. of Trial Lawyers of America and served as a Justice of the Peace in Southington.

Tom and I go back to the 70's when we first met in his court room. We discovered we both had the same interest in ham radio and from then on we became good friends. I would go over to his house and sit and chat in his workshop where he spent a lot of time. We did the social thing, ham thing and everything that was fun. Never a dull moment when you were with Tom. He was a great hobbyist and friend. So long Tom, rest in peace.

Such a tragedy to have this happen to a great friend. He will be sorely missed, but certainly never, ever forgotten.
