Tom was an asset to the B.O.E. especially for his expertise, patience, endurance and long hours of work in the Data Processing Department. It was a pleasure to know and work with him. He was a kind and generous person. Thank God he did not suffer his last days of life.

I will always remember Tom helping with transcripts and the frustrating bubble sheets we used to grade students. He was so patient when explaining processes to me while I learned from him as a newly hired BOE employee. Thank you, Tom.

My sincere condolences to the Jackson family. Tom was a former co-worker and a good person who was always so willing to help us "rookies"!when we ran into problems with our computers.
I know he will be much missed by his family and friends.
