We are very sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. When I last talked to him, he was still in the hospital, but expected to go home soon. I hope that happened. Tom and Donna were good friends in college and our friendship continued for a lifetime.
Tom was great fun as a fraternity brother, and always more than willing to pitch in on anything that needed to be done. His outgoing personality made him a wonderful pharmacist and hence a very successful businessman. He will be sorely missed, and we can only hope that for everyone the good memories of our time with Tom will soon shine through today’s clouds of sorrow.
I’m so sorry for your loss. This is such a sad time in our community. Thinking of you all and praying for you.

To Tom’s family may I say that I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I came to know Tom through our connection in our pharmacy careers and also through the Corvette hobby. My deepest and sincerest sympathies to you all, and may your fondest memories of Tom support you in these hard days.
