Dear Mrs. Callagy,
Tom and I served aboard USS New together and were very close friends during that time period. Obviously we have not been in touch for many years. Tom was a gentle soul and his musical talent was truly amazing to everyone who knew him. I still have a snapshot of Tom and one of our friends on the ship playing guitars on the fantail at dusk in the middle of the Atlantic somewhere. I can only imagine what an immense loss his passing has been. He was a fine man and all-around great guy. Please accept my sincerest condolences.
