Dear Family,
My father met "The General" late in his life and he was a real friend to my father. I had the good fortune to meet him and I immediately realized why my father was always talking about him. He was a magnificent man, so good and kind to all. Heaven will be a little livelier I am sure. The world will miss him. My condolences to all.

When I arrived in springfield over 35 yrs ago as a stranger I was very fortunate to meet him and was immediately treated as if I had known him for years. He saw that I was treated fairly in my military career and introduced me to the Knights of Columbus. I had the priviledge of serving under his command both while he was active and also

Tom, the General will be sorely missed in the ranks of the 103d Infantry Division reunions. He was a gentleman, a true patriot, and a great American. God Bless you and the family. We will miss this great man!
