It was sad the find out the passing of my coworker and friend Tom.
Tom was a gentle and nice person of whom I got to know here at the office. We talk many times during work breaks when I met him walking around B-Building. At the beginning I said Hi Tom and replied with a nice Hello. After a few times I covered my badge as I approached him, and I said again Hi Tom, and he replied with another Hello; so, I asked him: What’s my name Tom (while my badge was been covered, in surprised mode he replied: I really don’t know, so I uncovered my badge and showed him my name. From that day on he was always the first to say: Hello Ronnie every time our path crossed. I went to that extent to be friends with Tom because I could tell he was a great person. You will be missed by many here at work!


Tom will be misse by me and our colleagues .  I first met Tom in 1978 at Perry and learned to respect his absolute thorough understanding of the principles of engineering and especially diving and life support and thermodynamics.  Most recently he gained the respect of our Alvin and DCS customers who leaned on his talent and experience to solve some difficult problems.

My famlily and I pay our deepest respect to your family in this time of loss.
