By now many of you have heard the sad news of Tom Tappen passing away January 1, 2015. We are sending this email blast for those that may not have received notice.Though the news was not unexpected, it is none the less devastating to our class. Tom was our leader, our captain, and our friend. He set the standard when it came to being someone to look up to...literally and figuratively. We will not see his likes again.
We do not yet know the arrangements but will let you know as soon as we find out.
