Tom was a real friend. We had coffee in the mornings with a few other friends and ate lunch together from time to time. Tom and I rode our motor scooters together sometimes. He use to joke and say we were a couple of old men trying to be kids again. I�m really going to miss him.

Those of us who worked with Tom 30 years ago remember him as a person who very much enjoyed life and other people. His family and friends will remember Tom as they share memories and stories about how he lived his life and how very much he meant to them. May they also know the deep sympathy and concern his former colleagues feel for them at this difficult time in their lives.

Jim Mahan January 8, 2021

Irene,
I am grateful Uncle Tom had you by his side as many years as he did. Of all my Uncles, he was the only one I ever truly connected with. He introduced me and taught me how to sail � something I have passed on to my own son. When I was just 16, he was happy to explore wide ranging issues in conversation � treating me more as an adult than the boy I was at the time.

Because I also knew him as an adult, I learned just how valuable having forgiveness and reserving judgement can be. Experiencing this first hand has served to strengthen my faith and will be remembered the rest of my life.

I know you are already missing him and I pray for Christ�s comfort during this time of mourning.
Gary Turner January 8, 2021

My sincere condolences go to the Basore family. Tom was a wonderful fellow and I had the privilege of knowing him for over 40 years. My prayers and thoughts are with you and please know that all his friends at DuPont will miss him greatly. He was one in a million.
Joe Murphy January 8, 2021

Bill Gower January 8, 2021

I saw Tom at a FBHS basketball game in December. We both love basketball. We had a great conversation and he seemed in good spirits as usual. I will miss seeing him all over the community. Tom�s passing is such a shock and loss to so many. We will pray for Irene & Family during this most difficult time. Such a wonderful person.
Peter Deane January 8, 2021

Both Tom and Irene sang in the choir for a time at Amelia Plantation Chapel where I�m Organist and I got to know Tom. He had a great, friendly, outgoing , funny and sometimes hilarious personality which I enjoyed .We would meet, not planned , at Ops Pizza along with Irene .They would invite me to sit with them or I would invite them to sit with me depending on who got there.first . I will miss you , my friend. To Irene and the entire family, my deepest sympathy ????
Jim Stevenson January 8, 2021

I see Tom sitting across the table from me at Bible study at Amelia Chapel. He was always a contributor. He will be missed.
Pat Baker January 8, 2021

I just knew Tom from the choir at the Chapel. My deepest sympathies to Irene and your family.
Sewell Harlin January 9, 2021

Irene, Tom and I related because of our backgrounds with Du Pont and Washington, D.C Associations. But our closest tie was our Wednesday Watchmen breakfast prayer group, he will be missed.
Don Hughes January 9, 2021

I enjoyed being Tom�s companion at the Pirate basketball games over the past several years. We had a lot of cheap dinners (hot dogs) and a lot of fun cheering on the Pirate Boys and Girls basketball teams. One memorable game was a road trip to Bolles when the Lady Pirates defeated Bolles to advance in the playoffs. The Pirates probably won a few games because of Tom�s bleacher coaching. Our breakfast/lunch meetings each month usually resulted in political discussions or resolving the problems in our community or the world. We were not great at this because our perspectives were quite different, but that was okay, most of the time. We were friends and accepted each other for who we were, even if we were not always on the same page. I will miss you as will many others. RIP and God bless you and your family members,
Mike & Marlene Breitenstein January 10, 2021

Tom and I met at the McCall Corp. in Dayton Ohio in 1958. We remained good friends for the next 60+ years.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Irene and family and all his friends. Rest in Peace old friend.
