I knew Tom as a fun, joyful person I always enjoyed being around. I will miss him dearly.
Margaret,Phyllis and I so enjoyed Tom’s presence and the friendly, but sometimes intense discussions at Jeanne and Tom’s dinners. Tom is one of a kind that will always be remembered and held dear to our hearts. He was so much a part of his addopted Cornell Hotelie family and so much a wonderful part of our lives for so many years. We will miss him dearly, but know full well that he is watching and taking in every political comment we make. I can just hear his rebuttal. God bless Tom and watch over you. Love Phyllis and Bill Eaton
Tom and I worked together at Pace in the early 70’s. His engaging smile, wonderful sense of humor and captivating personality will remain in my memory forever. My wife Marilyn and I extend our sincerest condolences on his passing. Rest in Peace Tom.
Margaret, Ellen: I’ve always had warm thoughts of Tom. He was a special guy, lots of fun to be around and he made people feel special. Tom…..I salute you. Sincerely, Carole Davidson
Margaret, Tom will be missed. He was a fun loving guy. We had a lot of good times together. Jim
Margaret, I am so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. I remember all the fun at the Bank’s Xmas parties. His smile and sense of humor will not be forgotten.
