There are stories he related that I remember to this day! He was a great role model. I have tried to emulate his style for 30 years now. Cullen I briefly met you and your Mother after your Father's retirement as you were commuting through ATL. Tom was holding your hand as you walked. It made me smile at the time. I believe you were around 5 years old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810058927296565315.post-6938326902169699532014-08-02T05:27:48.239-04:002014-08-02T05:27:48.239-04:00I remember Tom.

I was matched with one of Tom's roommates, a Delta engineer by the name of Bill Buntin. The search for Bill led me here. Tom was a great guy. I remember driving the "gang" home from Coconut Grove one night in his new Lincoln. I was 15. It was cool :) . The sailing, diving, motorcycles, flying. I'm sorry to see of his passing. I've had a time share on Vanderbilt Beach in Naples for 20 yrs. If I'd only known.....I'm still looking for Bill. Martha, I'll call you.<br />RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
