Dear Lorie, Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. I remember when Tom first arrived at Whitehall High School and can picture in my mind Rosalie Sabo bringing him down to the Counseling Office to introduce him to all of us. Whenever I think of Tom, I can visualize his friendly smile and his calm demeanor. I never saw him angry or upset. He was a real advocate for the students at Whitehall and touched so many lives while he was with us. I am deeply saddened by his loss.

To the family of Tom Davis- I worked with Tom when he was the assistant principal at Strayer Middle School many years ago. I wanted to say how very sorry I am to learn his untimely death- I am sure that he will be missed not only by family but the many colleagues in all of the places that he worked- everyone at work today in Quakertown was both shocked and saddened to hear about him. Please accept my sincerest sympathy.

Eileen
