I had met Thomas earlier this year while working in the Houston shop. I had questions about the V84 engines and even though he was very busy he found time to help and answer my questions. I was told by others that if you want to know about the V84 engine Thomas was the guy to go to. From every thing I heard he was well respected for his knowledge and willing to help. I’m very sorry that he is no longer with us.

When you receive word of this nature what can you say? Tom was one of the finest individuals I have known. I will never forget his smile and sense of humor. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and when you needed help, Tom was always there. He will be missed and loved forever by his many friends. We will miss you Tom and God bless you and your family and friends.
