Mark Beer wrote a sympathy message

“I was saddened to hear the news of Tom's passing indeed. Tom was a customer of mine for many years, supplying truck bodies for the Budget fleet of rental vehicles. We had many conversations about life, faith and family. Oh how he loved his family and getting together to spend time with his grandchildren was always on his mind. Prayers are with the family as you mourn the parting of a unique soul in this life, but celebrate the joy that he brought to so many hearts and lives. God Bless.”

“I was saddened to hear the news of Tom's passing! I worked for a few years with Tom at Avis Budget Group in NJ and found out so many things about him; that he was so kind, considerate, loved his family, so knowledgeable about everything! AND he loved telling his stories; I loved to hear them!! As his Son Tom said in a tribute to him he "managed with the heart"! He was simply the best! My condolences to his family; I know he will be missed tremendously since he was the backbone of his family!”
