Mom and I will miss Tom’s ever present, infectious smile. He was a “giver” of his time, a most valuable commodity, to mom and Henry. Such an inspiration about what is important in life. Thank you Tom.
I was stationed with Tom at Nha Be, Viet Nam in 1969. We were very close friends until the end of his tour and he was transferred to NAS Jacksonville. Tom was an outstanding person and a great friend.I am sorry I never was able to catch up with him to talk about how our lives turned out. My condolences to his family.
In 1969 I was stationed at Nha Be, Viet Nam with a Tom Brown from Kettering , Ohio. His father was an eye doctor. We were very close until he served out his tour and he was transferred to Naval Air Station Jacksonville. If this is the same person, my deepest condolences to his family. The Tom Brown I knew was an outstanding person and a great friend.
