I just heard the sad news of the passing of Tom. Tom and I were shipmates at the Naval Hospital. I was the admin Chief. Tom was one of the first to welcome me on board at the hospital with my return from Viet Nam. I will always remember the warm welcome he gave to me. I can never
find words to adequately express my deepest sympathy
with your lost.

MY SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO YOU AND THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY ON THE LOSS OF YOUR LOVE ONE.
