Dear Karin and family, I am so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing and I wish to extend my condolences. I met Tom during my first year of teaching at Chatfield and considered him a friend and mentor. Our paths did not cross as often as I would have liked but when they did, I enjoyed reminiscing about our teaching careers as well as marveling at how times change. Tom was a gentleman in every sense of the word. A loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. My world was better for having known him.
Sincerely,
Bob Laipply
