I am sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I attended high school at SPASH with Tom and looked forward to seeing him every day. He always had a friendly smile, joke or and laugh to share with you. I last saw Tom at our Class of '76 Reunion. That is how I wish to remember Tom; Sitting in the sun, having a beer and embraced by good friends and laughing. Rest in peace my friend.

I was sad to hear of Tom's passing . Even though I had not had any contact with him, I sure did have fond memories of competing, playing , the comaraderie of being on a team with him. He was a great athlete, a better person...He was too young for this....God Bless him...

Tom, it sure was a pleasure playing against you and with you in all of those baseball games going all the way back to our Little League days. It was always a pleasure when I would “run into you” when I was back visiting in the Stevens Point area. You have always been a great friend. May you now Rest In Peace.
