It was my great priviledge to serve with Tom on the Airport Commission. I learned a tremendous amount from Tom and my fellow commissioners. Tom was extremely intelligent. He asked excellent questions and worked to find solutions to the many challenges we faced. His knowledge and experience in aviation proved invaluable. As evidence of his diverse interests, one of my fondest memories is when Tom would drive his rebuilt truck in the Pancake Day Parade. The other commissioners and I would sit in the back and throw candy. What a treat for us! Tom was a terrific fellow that will certainly be missed. God's speed my friend!
