I have known Tom from 1974 when I hired and supervised him at Mosby. Over the past few years I enjoyed my two day July golf outings with Tom at his home in Lee's Summit and will miss those times of good stories and several good laughs at who we were and who we became over the years. Tom was truly one of the class acts who I could trust for straight forward, honest and ethical actions. Agree or disagree, he was genuine with a sense of purpose and commitment. I can remember working on campus with him during his Mosby training and having several people yell "hey coach" each day as we walked across multiple campuses. A sign of how he touch his players and students when he was coach. And the practical jokes. I still remember him having a hotel reservations clerk in Denver thinking he was Robert Redford. I'm better for knowing Tom and will miss him. My condolences to his family and can't imagine the loss you feel.
