If I recall correctly, Tom and I met in the 9th grade at Hoover Junior High and then on to West High. We spent some time together for about two years before our other friends took us in different directions. I remember Tom as lighthearted, and sort of a prankster - fun loving. I visited his home and he visited mine after school and on occasion on the week-end.

It has been over forty years since West High but, nevertheless, I was quieted by the news of Tom's passing.

I always remembered Tom. A friend of mine who stays in touch with people in Waterloo sent me the article in the newspaper.

In particular, I recall Tom was very proud of his (1968?) Mercury Cougar - I think he may have gotten from his older brother?

Tom remains a part of my life.

My deepest condolences to all of the family

I was so very sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. My brother Matt Miller worked with Tommy at John Deery's and I was lucky enough to spend some time with him and to call him my friend. I haven't seen him in years but he would pop up in my thoughts. The world has lost a very good person. I send my heartfelt condolences to all. Just remember he still lives on in our memories. God bless you all.

I am really sorry to hear about Tom's passing.

Even though I have'nt seen Tom or Kerry in many. many years. I always wished them well.

I remember Tom's love for the outdoors - especially fishing.

He was a lot of fun to hang out with...and actually pretty funny - cause he could be pretty unlucky fishing - he usually got into a huge mess with some snag or other mishap!!

My sister, Brenda and I send our sincere condolances to you at this time.

My prayers and thought go out to the Schaffnit family. Many memories from the past years with Tommy.

Tommy thanks for giving my Leah Peanut M&M's, she still remembers.

Scott, Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
