Worked with Tommy 35 yrs. ago in crew 6. Lots of after wrok time playing horseshoes and tippin’ a few beers. He made me a custom Mahogany gun case that is priceless. He was a kind and generous soul, sad to hear of his passing. R.I.P. old friend. My sincere condolences to his family.
Rest in peace Tom. You were a great friend as well as a co-worker. From our carpooling we got to know each other and shared many things.
I remember Tom as a member of Hellriegel’s Inn Pearl Harbor Day Remembrance Committee. For the last five or six years Tom always helped hang the flags in Hellriegel’s banquet room in preparation for the December 7th Remembrance dinner. And we could always count on Tom to be at Hellriegel’s on December 8th to take down and store the flags.
One year Tom also handmade for each of us a wooden Pearl Harbor Day memorabilia. A nice gesture.
Virginia it has been a long time. So very sorry to read of Tom’s passing. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Love, Ron and Cindy Kessler

Sadness on Tom’s passing, but so many great memories. Starting at Perry Plant together after working many years at the Ashtabula plant. Lots of laughs, collaborations, and best of all, always a positive attitude (after a little complaining) RIP my pal.
