I'm so sorry to hear about Tom. He was a true gentleman and diplomat in everything he touched. And he touched many things and many lives. I will miss him.

Tom and I were friends throughout high school had many stories, but as life goes on contacts/friendships change. I would see Tom and talk for a few minutes at the Baloon Fiesta, and always bring up the stories and memories about our time at HHS. Barbara and I extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends, he will be missed by all!
