Deepest sympathy to Tom's family and friends.  I am so sorry to hear of his recent passing.  I worked with Tom at The Coca Cola Company in Houston back in the 1970's and 1980's.  He was a kind, gentle, thoughtful person who always was interested in helping others to become their best self. 

He was a great role model of leadership for the rest of us.  May his memories be for a blessing.

Deepest sympathy at the lost of your loved one.
Houston, Texas

My name is Norm Oliphant from Fort Collins, Co. Tom was my sales manager back when I was a salesman in North Platte, Ne. some 66 years ago. I worked for and under Tom for nearly 38 years and he was my boss and a friend. Tom was one of the finest men I have ever know and every one with Coca Cola that knew him or worked with him, loved and respected him. 

You might enjoy a funny story about Tom. He  came out to North Platte to help train me the first week on the job. My wife and I asked him to join us for dinner at our apartment and he accepted. We had a new cocker spaniel puppy and when Tom set down in an easy chair waiting for dinner, the puppy jumped up in his lap and dribbled on his lap. I thought I would get fired and was panicked, but of course Tom was gracious.

Tom lived his life with class, we all have lost an individual that made this world a better place. My heart breaks for you.

My deepest sympathies to the entire family.  I worked for Mr. Cleveland for a few years at The Foods Division.  He was an intelligent, warm, wonderful, kind and gentle man.  I always enjoyed hearing him share with me about his love for his family.  May you find comfort in knowing that he is with the LORD and is at peace.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I am the daughter of Lou Quam who passed away this past August.  Lou and Tom were good friends and enjoyed playing Bridge together.  Lou often spoke of Tom and how highly he regarded him. Our families condolences to your Family.
