Deer Minnon family: I have been meaning to reach out to Tom for a long time on LinkedIn. He was my manager at two firms; United States Aluminum them and Serious
Materials. I have worked for many companies and have had many bosses. None was better than Tom, who is more of a friend and confidant than a superior. He was one of the few people that truly supported the people under him versus the majority who were simply task masters.
I am certainly very saddened by Tom`s untimely passing, and feeling bad about not looking him up much sooner. I will always keep Tom in my fond memories.

My deepest condolence to the all of the family & friends of Tom! I worked with Tom at YKK AP & had the privilege of traveling with his several times on a tour of several northern sales territories! I learned so much from him over those weeks about our industry, but he also made sure that this southern girl got to see & experience parts of the North as we made our way around. I still have picture of us at Niagra Falls between customer calls! Those are some cherished memories! I was honored to call his a friend & will greatly miss him!
