I am deeply saddened by your loss. Tommy and I were in the same homeroom for all of our FHS years and worked together on our reunion planning committee last year. He was well-liked and got along with everyone. I am praying that God will bless you with many good memories to help you through this hard time.

Tommy was in our French High School class of 1960, and was recently involved with several of us in planning our 50th reunion. Tommy always exuded an air of quiet dignity. We shall miss him, and express our deepest condolences to his family.

Tommy was a friend of mine back in high school. He was friendly but with a touch of quiet privacy about him which was very agreeable to his character because I don't remember Tommy ever having diasgreements with teachers or fellow students. I will always remember Tommy and I'm happy that we were friends. E. J. bell
