Tom was one of the last stand up good guys left at the paper when he was there. I sure he will be missed by his friends and family. I am sorry I didn't know about this sooner so I could pay my respect.

My condolences to the Spatz family. I remember Tom from my coaching days at Little Flower and Holy Redeemer. He taught me so much and I will always remember his kindness to me and how much he taught me. He was a good friend and a wonderful mentor. I will miss him dearly.

I am so sorry for your loss, I worked with Tom at ST for many years. He was a friend and a wonderful person. He was an honest devoted man and always meant what he said from his heart. I will miss his calls on my birthday and his great outlook on life.
