I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.  I enjoyed working with him.  He was one of my teachers as I was learning to direct and he was always patient with me.  I know he will be missed.

Nita & Girls, 
What a loss.  I worked with Tom for many years and for all those 21Alive years he was the mentor to many young talents and a trusted friend and valued employee to count on for the tough assignments. A kind, gentle person.  He will be missed!
My thoughts are with you & your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Working with him for almost eight years was a pleasure. His ability to us a hammer and nails to build sets was beyond belief.... hence his nickname "Wacker"! He really hated to be volunteered to work on any carpentry... he could really get the crew going with his wit and sometimes dry sense of humor. He was a patient teacher and helped me along my career path. He will be missed.

So sorry for your loss.  May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Sorry for your loss. Tom was the best behind the scene participant in television news in Fort Wayne, always going above and beyond to make in front of the camera look their best, especially during breaking news situations. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for you loss. Many fond memories of the Thieme household growing up.  He will be missed. Thinking of all of you.

So sorry for your loss Nita and Family, Tom was a one of a kind Director, he gave me a lot of directing tips and suggestions.  He had a style all his own of directing, he remained calm no matter how crazy the newscast would get, I tried to copy his style as best I could.  There were many times he would have me laughing during the noon newscasts as we both would run camera.   I felt that Tom took me under his wing, we not only worked together but would speaker and stereo shop together.  I remember house sitting and being able to play with his purchases, what a treat it was for me.  I will always cherish his trust and friendship. Let us all give one last "Standby" to Tom.

Kim, Tracey and Nita:
You know my heart goes out to you, it hasn't been so long since I wore those shoes.  

It feels like the end of an era, if you will.  The music meant more than just playing it to those young men so long ago.  Starting in someone's basement I think, was the beginning of so much more than just playing an instrument in a band.  

These were boys turning into men with families and all the responsibilities  at pretty young ages.

They kept playing and as they found their comfort and their therapists (as Steve used to say)in the music, they also found friendship and love for each other.

Steve and I love you all so much and have the fondest memories still in tact and as though they were yesterday.  

Through the tears is the smile on my face.  I love you all and I will be there whenever you need me.

Love Judy Jugloff

So sorry to hear about Tom.  He was a joy to work with at Channel 21 and always kept us laughing.

I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. You are in my thoughts.

Tom really knew how to direct a newscast!.I'm so fortunate to have worked with him.
God Bless
