To Patricia and the Nielsen Family, I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Tom. I will always remember Tom's indelible smile and his good-nature as a Dana student. I first met Tom on our '73 Interim trip to Europe, and throughout the following years at college he was always encouraging and a good friend. My sympathy to his family and members of his family.
Sincerely,
Giles Bronson (Class, 1976 - Dana College)

"Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Tom in person, he was involved in ordering/receiving books I donated to the archives. He was keenly aware of their importance to me as a memorial to my father, but more, he knew they were significant to American history with an eye to strengthen student awareness at the college. He was a true asset to all who crossed his path & will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and colleagues. -Nancy B. Larsen - Ashland, OH.

I always enjoyed discussions with Tom on the Dana campus. His heart was always focused on making Dana a strong college academically. It was a treat to serve on committees with him. I'm so sorry to learn of his passing. May God grace his family and friends with consolation.
