Graduation Year	Class of 1970
Date of Passing	Jun 22, 2008
About	Tom served as principal euphonium in the band (under Dick Kamm and Glen Anderson) at WB. His entire professional life, as a regional sales executive (and engineer), was based in the states of Illinois and Michigan. He was married to WB Alumnus Joyce (Kreml) Ryl. Tom was an intelligent, fun loving and a wonderful father. He was strong-willed in his convictions, yet the consumate peace maker and motivator in team situations. Thus he was always sought out as a leader by others. He was very much an original, impossible to replicate in his capacity to offer a kind word or astute observation (to anyone) when a person needed it the most.

Sad to hear of Tom's passing. I remember him well as a friend and fellow band member.
