It is with great sorrow that I write this, seeing that Tom has passed on to his eternal reward. However, I also feel great joy that he has rejoined his Shipmates from that fateful day. Sailor, rest your oar and THANK-YOU for your Service to our country. Tom Jr. please accept my most heartfelt sympathies.

Tom and Miriam:
I have very fond memories of Tom from my summer and weekend days working at Modern Woodcraft. He taught by example and served as an inspiration. The one thing I am forever grateful for, I learned directly from him: If it is worth doing, it worth doing right. He was a GOOD MAN.
Rest in Peace, Tom !
