My earliest memory of Tom is from the 1960’s, when we worked together in the Blast Furnace Dept. office. I enjoyed working with him, and I remember his good humor and quiet competence at work. Phyllis and I offer our sympathy to Midge, Dian, and Gerry, and all of his family. May you find solace in memories of his life. Phyllis and John Negomir, Orange City, Florida
