My sincere condolences to the family. I had the privilege to work with Tom for many years. He could be the voice of reason and lightened hard times. He truly cared about his employees but most importantly was proud of his family. Rest in Peace my friend.
One of the best managers to work with at Struts and Nacelles. A soft-spoken and kind person I enjoyed working with. My condolences to his family. RIP Tom.
Tom was so kind to me, when I worked for him at Spirit Aero Systems. He was exceptionally fine and Loving individual.
He will be deeply missed by all of the Retirees who meet once a month. Please find comfort in these scriptures 1st Thessalonians 4:13 – 18. God Bless You all !
I went to grade, middle and high school with Tom, we lived a block apart even though we lost touch through the years I always thought he was such a sweetheart. So sad and sorry to hear the news. Condolences to Debbie and family. 😢
