It seems like only yesterday that we were having lunch and making plans. In a short time he became one of my best friends. I still think about him often and miss his friendship and wisdom. I think he would be proud of what we are doing.

I, too, befriended Tom at Wright Quad in 1981. He was all about ideas, at that time a "Progressive-Conservative" and unabashed Reaganite. We had some great times together. He got me interested in Munster but I never visited. Tom and Justine became a great couple, and I regrettably never saw him after that.

Even though its been a few years still think about the things we might have done by now and the ideas we had. He still lives within us all.

I regret that we didn't meet sooner. He was one of the most integument and patriotic people that I knew. We had some great conversations, and he was a great asset to Live Free USA. I am privileged to remain in contact with his wonderful family. Tom's legacy is great.

I remember when Tom and Justine met in Wright Quad at Indiana University and it was mutual love at first sight for them. I remember Tom as a highly intelligent, driven, unique and compassionate man. May God's peace be with his family.

Tom was the first person I met at Indiana University, and was my close friend and advisor from that point onward. He was one of the finest men I have ever known.
