I worked with Tom at Sprint for 11years. Not only was he skilled at what he did he was fun to have on the team. Tom always had a joke that could make everyone in the room laugh. He was a great guy.

I am so shocked and saddened by Tom‘s passing. I knew he was sick for three years but didn’t know all the details. I’ve known Tom since I was 17 when I worked at Arnies hotdog stand in Elmwood Park. Great guy, funny, great sense of humor and was a family man. God rest your soul in peace and hold you in his arms.

Tom was such a memorable presence in my life and was always a boisterous voice in the room. He had the best laugh and would give great hugs. It breaks my heart he's really gone, but I am so happy he's gotten so much life out of his 73 years and that he was so well cared for by his family and the hospital staff over the years. I love and miss you, Tom. You'll always hold a special place in my heart.

So very sad to hear of the passing of Tom. Although he lived in the Chicago area, we became friends and coworkers at Sprint while he was employed there. Tom had a unique sense of humor and we would frequently chat. Prayers and condolences to your family at this difficult time.
