I knew Tom well as he was only 1 year ahead of me in school and I believe he was at Dwight all 12 years, as I was. He will not soon be forgotten.

Dear Jamye, Francyne, April, Jeff and families So sad to learn of Tom’s passing. Though many miles separate us and we only met a couple of times, he always made it seem like we were as close as if we lived next door. He will be dearly missed. Hold close to your memories.
