ALAN LAMOREAUX wrote a sympathy message

“Very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I worked for him at my first real job out of college and he became not only a boss, but a good friend and mentor. My wife and I enjoyed knowing both Tom and Nancy. Tom was a man's man in the best sense. I always enjoyed his company and he was a leader and example to all who knew him. -- With condolences, Alan Lamoreaux”
