I probably only knew Tom a total of 12 weeks— the time we went through tech school together in the Air Force. I last saw October 21, 1970 when we departed for home before going to our first duty stations, he in Ga, me in Miss. By chance I only knew of his passing about a month ago at age 43, been gone now nearly 35 years. Tom was a funny, lovable guy, incidentally today July 1 is his heavenly 78th birthday, would enjoy hearing from anyone who knew him!
