"Tommy was a classmate and in my opinion the best all-around athlete in the class of '68 at WCHS. A genuine nice guy. Sad to hear of his passing. My regards to his wife Phyllis, also a classmate."
In loving memory of

Tributes
"To Phyllis and family, Jan and I have been out of town, caring for her elderly parents. We were so sorry to hear the news of Tom's passing. I knew him best from our time together at Home Building. He personified the best a banker can be-- a gentleman first and always with customers and fellow employees alike. You can be proud of the fact that he helped so many people through his work.
