Just hanging out — with Tom and me

My first game at Wrigley, Sox won 6-4! — with Jim Dwyer

Barbara and the entire Schultz Family, please accept our deepest sympathy.  We loved Tom like a brother and were shocked to learn of his death.  Tom was an instant friend when we met at St. George in second grade.  Not only friendly and personable, he was the loyalest of friends and will be dearly missed.  Where ever our careers took us to Georgia, California and beyond, we kept in touch, and to be honest, it was due to Tom’s efforts.  While we all have our disparate interests and challenges, Tom never forgot about the important relationships and keeping in touch.  I am thankful to Tom for that and I will miss our birthday calls and occasional meetings when I visited my folks in Tinley Park.  One of my first calls after my Mom passed was to Tom and two days later he and Barbara attended the wake.  We will miss you, my friend, and “until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand”.  Jim and Viola Dwyer

met Tom when I lived in Atlanta. He was like a big brother to me. I left for the service  and lost touch but I never forgot him he was a great friend . I am so sorry for your families loss I know he’s up there now with a big smile on his face, God bless him.

I love Tom so much! He was so witty and funny,he always made me laugh!!! I will forever miss you with my whole heart!!! God be with you Tom till we meet again!! My life will never be the same!!

Tom and my husband coached basketball together a few years ago. We enjoyed his coaching style and his great personality! Our family shares in your loss and we will be thinking about and praying for all of the others who will miss him dearly. 

Tom did many projects for us and even mentored my son Joe( pretzel boy)on projects. He joins my dad, who he nicknamed Pedro, up in heaven and probably telling stories after stories. He was a good man!
