Soldiers are another band of brothers, and in that world, Tom was my brother. Our family just finished our evening rosary... something Tom and I prayed together in Panama. It is with great sadness that I've learned of his passing. Dede, Becca- our prayers are with you. JSherman

To the Scholz family, please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Tom. I worked with Tom back in the early 70's. He was always great to work with. I remember way back then he would come to work after spending all day on the lake and then eat apples all night to stay awake. I was always proud to count him as one of my friends even though it has been years since I have seen him. RIP Tom.

He loved BIG and enjoyed life! You are missed! Love Bridgette

Tommy was one of the best friends I ever had. We knew each other since Grade School. When I had cancer, he drove out to my home, halfway to Madison, every week, to visit and comfort me. The man is a Saint. We'll miss you greatly, Tom. God Bless.
