    So sorry to hear of Big Tom’s passing. I worked with him at YLTC, the juvenile boot camp in Camp Douglas. We had many laughs together and I enjoyed listening to his stories. Big Tom was also one of the greatest cooks. Fly high Big Tom, you have certainly earned your wings.

    I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. I worked with Tom many years at NLCI and absolutely loved the guy! He had so many colorful stories about his family and his adventures in the Marines. Hr especially enjoyed being a jokester with the people here worked with regularly. Heaven is lucky to have him. Prayers for strength and peace for those he left behind.
