Dawn Zorn says:
Tom was a wonderful, kind man, I worked with Tom many years ago and he made a lasting impression. His kindness and dedication to our clients in the mental health community was outstanding. His smile and pleasant demeanor always put a smile on the faces of those around him. He loved to raid the (nurses) our chocolate bowl. He will be remembered with great fondness always! I’m so sorry for your loss.
Terry Haupt says:
My heart hurts for Debbi and Cassi. I served with Tom in the late 80’s early 90’s. I’ll miss having coffee and long chats about politics and motorcycles, it’s a shame we didn’t get to ride more or drink more coffee. Rest well old friend
Gloria and Dick says:
We are so sorry for the loss of Tom. We have wonderful memories of playing cards and doing different things together at Floyd Bennett Field. He was a laugh a minute and will be missed greatly
