Otto P. Dobnick wrote a sympathy message

“This is indeed sad news. Having known Tom for a long time because of common interests including riding trains and being involved with preserving streetcars and interurbans. Always generous, helpful, friendly, low-key, and above all, full of common sense. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sharon and the family. Tom, I’ll miss you including getting your tour of “the farm” in your Army Jeep. God bless you, Sharon, and your family and may you rest in peace. Otto P. Dobnick, Waukesha WI.”
