Tom was a grade school buddy from St. Austin's and Austin High, and it was such a pleasure to see this young man grow up to be a fine and smart public servant who did real good for the City with his intensity, his work ethic, and his environmental expertise. Just last year, I was trying to ask him about his environmental work, but he was bragging on his beautiful young family. While we're truly sad to see him go, I know he's done right.Mike Cannattinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212735001005847783.post-36811546546694782422011-04-21T09:26:49.169-05:002011-04-21T09:26:49.169-05:00Thanks Tom E for doing this!

I was honored to have been his manager in those years and will never forget his humor, grace energy, and intelligence. In missing him, as we will for the rest of our days, all we can do is honor our "inner Tom" by trying to carry on as he would do.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401897225380381401noreply@blogger.com
