Michelle I am terribly sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you, especially for strength and comfort.

I only regret that we didn’t spend more time with Tom like we use to having lunch together and just talking about the old days. He was a really good man who loved life and all the people he came in contact with. I’m going to miss this big guy. Love ❤️ to his family and partner.

Tom was always looking for a way to make any situation funny. Full of crazy antics at work. Sometimes making me look over my shoulders before entering a room. He will be missed but never forgotten. One of the best.

My sincere sympathy to Michelle and Gail and the rest of his family. I am in absolute shock as I just talked to him earlier in the week. Tom and I met at a wedding in Florida over 30 years ago. The USAir pass benefits served us well getting back and forth between Orlando and Philly. Lots of wonderful memories.

Even after our lives took different paths, we remained good friends and never lost touch.

Tom had a huge heart and would do anything for anyone. I will miss him very much!

Rest in Peace my friend. I’m sure Monnie and Deby welcomed you with open arms. I’ll be looking for a cardinal to come see me soon and I will know it’s you.

Tom and I were coworkers at US Airways in PHL. You will never meet a friendlier and more genuine person than Tom. He always had a fun story to tell or just quiet conversation. Tom will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences.

I met Tom during my Rat year at Staunton Military Academy. He and I were both freshman. We was a good schoolmate and helped me out many times that year. We were friends ever since albeit not seeing each other for many years at a time. We always referred to each as other as our brother from a different mother. Another cadet has joined the long grey line. Miss you brother!

My sincere condolences to Tom's family. I knew Tom from the SMA reunions (as I graduated before him), but he was just a great guy. Friendly as can be and loved our school . . . SMA. It hurts a lot to know he's gone, but may he rest in peace. TDH, Mark Orr

Gonna miss your smiling face my friend. The times we spent at SMA are golden memories now that we shared at the Reunion. Your band of brothers grows smaller every year and now there is a big place where you used to be. I wish the family peace through this difficult time. Always in our hearts. Truth Duty Honor
