"I have great memories of working with Tom in the laboratory at Milford Regional Medical Center. It was always fun working with him - he had a great sense of humor- We all enjoyed his many jokes and nicknames for everyone. He was also very knowledgeable -He was our ""go to"" person in Hematology for all of the medical technologists and always helped everyone.He will be surely missed. RIP"
