I just came across this notice and had to comment.
I wirked fir snd with Tom for almost 20 years at B&H. He was my mentor and friend. The best communicatir I´ve ever known. I still remember him often.
I´m sure he is resting in peace, united with loved ones who preceeded.

My mostheartfelt sympathies go to all the precious family members of Tom Battle, especially to my sister-in-law, Nancy. I have wonderful memories of his many stories and his vast knowledge of life's great events. But everyone who knew him will know that the most important things to him in his life were his lovely wife Kay and his children and grandchildren. I will miss him and his great conversation. He was a kind and wonderful man. Midge - Aunty Midge
