Mrs. Gealta and family
I am sorry to hear that Tom has passed away. I graduated with Tom and even though we have lost touch over the years

November 8, 2010

I also was a classmate of Tom Sr. in High School in France. I flew home with him in July 1955. We enjoyed meeting at reunions during the 80' & 90's.

My prayers and thoughts are with you Beverly and Anne. We are not supposed to bury our children.

May Gad be your comfort during this time of loss.

To the family of Thomas, Jr.

I was so sorry to read of your loss. I did not know Tom, Jr., but was a friend of his father, Tom, Sr,, during our high school years in Chateauroux and Orleans, France, 1953-55. We became reacquainted again in the 80's and 90's in a reunion group which vacationed together.
Seeing your loved one's name in the paper was a sad surprise; please accept my heartfelt wishes for the healing of your hearts.

Tom was one of the hardest working and dedicated people I have ever met. He set high standards in his work and was a leader by example. I feel honored to have had the chance to work with and know him all these years; I certainly learned a lot from Tom! I will miss him dearly and will keep your family in my prayers.
