...I worked with Tom (and Bill Hart and Tom Crane) on the morning news show on WCAU (now WPHT) in Philadelphia way back when (1970-71, if memory serves). Tom was a very nice guy and a great sportscaster! An All-Pro on the field and on the air! We had many "discussions" about our favorite NFL teams: the Eagles (his) and the Redskins (mine, having grown up in the DC area). -- Bill Stabler
 
I remember Tom mostly from when he did the morning show on WIP, following the switch of 610 from an AC music station to Sports.

At his retirement party, he took a hammer to his alarm clock. He was looking forward to sleeping-in!
