I remember being a little girl and Mr. Peterson coming over to our house to visit my dad, Rev. Joe McNeil. He always had a smile and hug to share with me. Now that I'm all grown up, I remember those times and wish that they could come back. He will truly be missed.



With Sincere empathy,

Renarda S. Davis

Daughter of Joe and Sara McNeil

Tom will be dearly missed for his gentlemanly manner. We shared many laughs and disagreements while we worked side by side always as friends and professionals. I met Tom at DFAS and later joined him at Alutiiq. Be blessed and rest my dear friend.
