I was just missing Dr B and found this :(. He was my mentor at the Defense Communications Agency. He always told me to “s-l-o-w d-o-w-n” and be careful about my work… He made sure the algorithms in our simulators were accurate. I was with him when he mourned the passing of his first wife and then found new love in Marge. I was blessed to have known him!!!
Such sadness I feel in the passing of Tom. He and Marge and George Gilmour and I were a great foursome in The Annapolis Chorale and singing in the choir at Calvary United Methodist Church. So many good times together. They were a big help to me when George died in '10. My deepest sympathy and love to all, especially Marge.

Tom and Marge were long time members of the Annapolis Chorale and we missed them very much when they retired from singing. However, it was always a joy to see them at concerts. Tom was a dear man and everyone in the Chorale sends love to Marge and the family. - Katherine Hilton
When I had the measles and I couldn’t go to the department store and see Santa, Tom called and pretended to be Santa. I was thrilled! I still remember how wonderful he made me feel…
Ho Ho Ho Uncle Tom!
