Mr Lind I met you at Robinson High School, where you were feeling in as a sub. A year or so later you became full time. 
You always walked around with a cinnamon stick in your mouth, I would laugh. The one thing I remember most about you was when you said " Brenda you have to work for your grade, I'm not just giving it to you, because your an athlete." That has always stayed in my mind. 32 years later and it is still there. You touched so many hearts. Rest in peace Mr Lind

I'm very late in this I guess. But I was a student of Mr Lind's and it was absolutely spectacular to have had the pleasure to sit in his class every morning. Thomas Lind is dearly missed, and I know everyone is mortal and everyone has to pass away one day. But it just doesn't seem right that he's gone so soon and so quietly. I hope there's a heaven and I hope he made it in.

Tom was a Navy Buddy, We went to Intel school together at Lowry AFB in Denver in 1977 and then ended up serving in the same division OZ CVIC on the USS Ranger.  Tom and I used to camp out a lot.  Later on I came down to Florida when I was stationed in Pennsylvania and I help him move his stuff from his dads house to the dorm at USF.  We had good times and he will be missed.

To the Lind Family,My deepest condolences go out to you from Joceline and I.   We will have your family in our prayers.

Much love,
Brenda and Joceline

An amazing teacher! Mr. Lind is one of the reasons I became a Social Studies teacher. He truly prepared his students to be successful not only in his class but throughout their future educational endeavors as well.

To Mr. Lind, 
You have made such a positive impact in my life and have been one of my all-time favorite teachers ever since AP World History at Gaither. You have enriched hundreds of students' lives with your knowledge, humor, stories, and clever video choices to show in class. Thank you, you will be dearly missed.
To Mr. Lind's loved ones, 
May you find peace and an overflow of love in this time of grievance. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Tom, I miss our time together before the school day started , you reading as usual and me waiting for that break to ask you questions . The morning will never be the same for me at Gaither High! You were awesome teacher and especially with our Ese students in your class. Rest in Love, Tom!

I only knew you from stories told by my son Marshall and my daughter Marisa who were students of yours. When I'd ask how their day was when they came home from school, "Mr. Lind's class" was more often than not the highlight of their day. Mr. Lind, I'd like your family to know that you made a very positive impact on their lives and we grieve your loss along with them. I pray comfort and peace for them and may God bless you all. You were a blessing to so many of your students and will be missed.

For sure an amazing teacher.  You helped me get ahead even when i wanted to get transferred out.

I had Mr. Lind for AP World History my sophomore year of high school. To this day, when people ask me about my favorite teachers, I mention his name with a smile on my face. Being in his classroom was such a joy and made going to second period every day much more exciting. I'm devastated to hear of his passing and give my condolences to his family.

Never had Mr. Lind as a teacher at Gaither Highschool, but I always heard he was one of the best. He will be sincerely missed.

Thank you for all the memories. You were the type of person that all should aspire to be.

He was one of my favorite teachers who I had 3 out of my 4 years in high school. He always took the time to have personal conversations with his students. I can't remember how many times I talked to him after class about whatever. He inspired many of his students to work hard and to do what they really want. Thanks Mr. Lind for your lessons and stories.

What a great guy and teacher. So sad to see he's passed. One of my favorite teachers too. Blessings go out to family and anyone close to him. May he rest in peace.

It was a pleasure to work with you at Gaither High School. You were an incredible history teacher and inspired others to be as passionate about history as you were. 

My condolences to your family during this difficult time.

I had Mr. Lind for 10th grade AP World History. He was a great teacher and a kind person. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I wish his family good thoughts and blessings as they deal with their loss.

Barb, So very sad to hear of Tom's passing. My thoughts are with you, Katie and Emily. May you find comfort in each other. Sincere condolences.

Andy and Lori, we hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

My heart, thoughts & prayers goes out to the entire family of Tom.
Tom's younger siblings and I were very close in school and they had a wonderful & loving family.  I have always admired the Linds and have fond memories of them.

Love & light,
