My deepest heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather. May you find comfort in the warm memories of the life you were blessed to share with him. May God rest his soul & may He bless & keep you all in His loving care.
We have missed working with Tom so much and were so impressed with his spirit and humor these last few months. He was a wonderful person to work with – bright, witty and such a great team player. While we are saddened by his passing, we are so much richer for having known him. Peace and memories.
Although I only had a few opportunities to work with Tom and only got to meet him once, he had a way of making you feel like you knew him forever. What a courageous fight he put forth. He always talked about his family and so appreciated the people he worked with. He was a blessing and will be so missed by so many. Praying for his family and all of those who grieve during this difficult time.
Linda, Just found out about Tom. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know you will miss him so very much. He was a very special man, husband, father and friend. Growing up around him enriched my life. He was truly a remarkable man. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
We are so sorry for your loss. Words seem so inadequate in times like this, but you are all most certainly in our thoughts.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I have known Tom since about 94 when I started working with him at Metpath. Tom was a funny, hard-working man who got along with everyone.
I am sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. I worked with Tom at Quest Diagnostics since 1994 and he was always so funny and such a nice person. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers and will always remember Tom for the great person he was.
Our sympathy to you and yours. At the Johnson Class of 64 reunion, we were reminiscing about friends that moved elsewhere and Tom was brought up several times. He was loved in the small town & area surrounding. With happy thoughts of days gone by. Mary Michel
Condolences to the Rohrs Family. I worked with Tom at SmithKline Beecham in the 80’s. He was such a nice person and fun to be around. He was our go to computer brain at the lab. So sorry for your loss.
