I was so looking forward to seeing Tom again.  He was my room mate in College at Mizzou during 1967-68.  He did not finish, but instead was drafted into the Marines during Viet Nam.  I think of him oftem and have so many memories of our time together.  I had no idea that he passed.  He will be missed by me and I'm sure so many others.  If anyone knows when and how he passed, I would be greatful to know.  We lost touch after those years together and I would like to know about his life until his passing.

Tom was a good friend and great guy in high school. Had a brief phone call from him a few years back. I was looking forward to reestablishong contact with him via the 50th.

Tom was my best friend, even though we would go for years without actually getting together.  He had a long battle with cancer.  I spoke to him the day before he died.  He finished his degree in Journalism from Mizzou and started off as a small town newspaper reporter and photographer in the west.  He later decided to be a stone mason in Estes Park, CO.  He never married and pretty much lead a solitary life with his job and a dog or two most of the time.  We talked on the phone every month or so.  I think it was good therapy for both of us.  I escaped from the stress of life in LA, raising a family and working at an ad agency...including a crappy commute.  He told me what happened at the dog park that day.
