I grew up knowing Tom as he was a dear friend of my father, Pat Ambrose, from back in the days when they were both at Franklin Regional HS. I hope his daughter Sheree will remember all the fun parties we had then. My condolences to Sheree, Vickie and all the family.

I'm here thinking of all the times Tom and spent together. He was the high school counselor that made my career as a Navy recruiter a great success We had some good times together, especially our trips to Orlando, to the Navy training center. So sad but so many good memories. My deepest condolences Vicky.

I had seen Tom at the Aerobic center a number of times, and he and I got re-acquainted, even attending a funeral for a fraternity brother (Jim McCracken) who had passed away--that was three years ago (though it seems like last month). Tom was frequent contributor to our Sig Tau website, evidence of his fond memories of college experiences. And that was, to me. the essence of Tom. When he cared, he cared openly, deeply, and energetically--such an engaging person who enjoyed his life and his family (and cars!). To Vickie and the rest of his family, deepest sympathy for the loss of a really good person.

Tom was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Every time I saw him, he would have a smile on his face. He dearly loved his wife, Vickie, and his family. You all have my deepest sympathy.

My Joe and Tom got along well because of their mutual interest in PSEA. Mark also really thought a lot of him as his counselor. I will miss seeing him on Saturday at Mass. You made him happy and that is a wonderful memory.
