I had the good fortune to have played many round of golf with Tom. Initially, we played with other friends. The last few years, it was just the two of us, teeing off at the crack of dawn, enjoying the game, the fresh air and one another’s company.. Tom would always swing from the “heels” and never laid up short that I recall. Conversation among other things always included our common interest in video poker and trips “across the river” to a Louisiana casino.. I’ll miss him. My condolences to Katherine and many thanks to Ralph and Sue for their help in Tom’s final days.

I had the pleasure of working for Tom in Records Management at Riverbend Nuclear Power Station in St Francisville, La. He hired me in 1978 so I’ve known him for some. 44 years. I have had a few supervisors in my life but he was by far the best. We stayed in contact all these years via email. I will dearly miss him and his correspondence. My prayers go out to him and his family, especially Katharine. Rest In Peace with our Lord Tom

Kathy and family, please know our prayers are with you at this time. Tom was a great teacher and a fun to work with, we bantered back and forth daily. I will miss his voice calling me Conn and his large frame lurking over the panels of my office. May God hold you in his hands. Love you
