Tommy was my classmate, roomate, and best of all my friend. One of the best remembrances I have is the veritable, anecdotal, and (sometimes, lol) interesting stories my friend could dig out of his endless archive of information about our school, and Charleston in particular. One could not help but come away from having dinner with Tommy and Sheila without a broad smile and a warm heart. Miss you my old friend. Warm regards, Sheila, from Vee and Ray Nugent.

There are a lot of things that I will miss about you, Tommy . . . But certainly your story telling and humor will never be forgotten. Our annual get-togethers will not be the same without you. You will be missed.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to Tommy's family. He was always very kind to me, a gentleman and a scholar indeed. I had the privilege of knowing him some 10+ years at Mass Mutual. Rest in peace, my friend.
