Tom and I went to school together, so sad to hear of his passing.  He will be missed

Handsome and intelligent, I will always remember you.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends that knew you best and loved you most.  ~

A true friend and will be missed by many. I met Tom over 25 years ago in association with HRE. We had some wonderful times that I will always remember. Rest now.

We have lost a true champion of all of Atlanta's children.  Dedicated, hard working, and very special man.   I often have thought of Tom's friendly smile  and willing spirit.  Truly one of a kind, how fortunate we were to know him.  We worked side by side for many years in the Atlanta Public Schools.  He will be missed.

He was a true friend and will be missed by many. My visits to Atlanta was made special knowing I would be able to see him. I know the pain is gone now and he is at peace.

I met Tom during my first year as principal at Benteen Elementary School.  He served as my speech teacher and did an outstanding job. Our relationship continued over the years and I will always cherish our time together.  May you rest in peace my friend....

I was saddened to learn of Tom's passing.  He and I worked together as teachers at J.C. Harris Elementary and later we continued working together as he worked in the Human Resources Department.  He will be missed.

Tom and I met about 25 years ago, when I joined the APS family.  I will always remember his smile and laugh.  May you rest in peace.

I will always cherish the wonderful memories of our youth growing up in Pittsburgh: the great games we played, the millions of laughs we shared at the Sunday dinner table, our visits to the Jersey shore, the summers we shared in Cleveland and the love our families shared through the many highs and lows we encountered along the way to adulthood.  God bless you for all you've done for our family and may you finally rejoin our lost "family members" on the other side.  And remember, when you see them....no fighting and don't make Zio and Nonna mad!

I am so sad to hear the news about Tom.  He and I worked together in the APS Human Resources Division.  Many of times Tom and I worked long into the night to accomplish a task.  He was a great guy and I know he will be truly missed.  Rest in Peace Tom.

Thank you for making Atlanta home. I love and miss you.

I met Tom late in his life, but his ability to shine, laugh and love was amazing!  What dear man, a lover of dogs and people.  Rest in peace dear one.

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of a fellow educator. I'll never forget his work with the Hotlanta Raft Races. Rest in Peace!

He was a good man, a caring friend and a concerned member of the Inman Park Neighborhood.  My family will miss him and remember all the good times.
Lee Boutwell

Rest in peace for a dedicated educator and community organizer.  He fought a courageous fight that will never be forgotten.
