My husband and I both worked with Tom at Linde Material Handling. We are saddened to hear of his passing. Tom always had a big smile and a friendly word. I also enjoyed seeing him from time to time at Publix. We send our heart felt condolences and prayers to his family.

Tom was one of the most influential, dedicated, likeable, respected and hard-working employees I ever had the pleasure working with. Tom already displayed all the expected values of an employee, father and husband, way before companies started to put them on their walls. I'm very sorry for your loss. He will be missed, but always remembered.
