My deepest condolence On Tom’s passing. Try to remember all the great memories and laughter he brought to your life!! It truly helps in healing!! When I moved to DC in June 1963 at the timid age of 17, Delores and Tom became my protectors! I can remember Tom chauffeuring us back to Pa approx every two weeks from DC. He was such a caring and kind individual. May God give him peace! Carolyn Jean Gaydos Parsons

My sincerest condolences are extended to your family at this difficult time. I remember going to Lorton during my summer visits with my aunt, Michelle Giles. It was then that I met Mr. Gaydos. He was always very kind to me when I was there . He always made me feel special at each visit. Bless you all in the days to come as well.

I used to work with Tom, he was very nice to me, I was at my desk, and I could always tell when it was Tom coming up the stairs! It was a very hot day, him, and Rick were just getting back and Tom would flop in his chair really hard, and I thought he broke it, and he said I have almost broken it a hundred times!!! Haha!! I will miss him, I didn’t get to say goodbye so how about I will see you there in heaven!!
