Tom and Jim now fly fishing in heaven together. Many years of fond memories of friendship. I remember the two of them tying flies with President Carter. May loving memories stay with the family. Ronnie Voigt

Tom and Linda Mills have always been more to me than just my in-laws. From the very beginning, they accepted my daughter and me into their family with loving arms. When my father passed away, I knew that I still had a father figure with Tom. He’s always been so loving and kind. I’m extremely heart broken for his passing. You’ll be forever in my heart and I’ll love you forever. Kelly Mills

We add our condolences to the entire Mills family. Coach Mills always knew the right advice to say no matter what the situation. Some of my clearest childhood memories are of the Sunday night game film gatherings at our house in Boalsburg with the entire coaching staff – I even recall Coach giving a hint or two on what would be on Monday’s Chemistry quiz before the projector turned on! Your family will always hold a special place in our hearts. - Tim Pavlechko

I'm so sorry to hear of Uncle Tom's passing. I remember all the wonderful times we had together as family. I especially remember when Uncle Tom would come over on Friday nights and bet me a quarter that Fred Flintstone would not say "Yabba Dabba DO!"... of course, he bet me every Friday night and so I got a quarter every week. It was the highlight of my week. My sincere condolences to Aunt Linda, Tommy, Chris, and Julia.

Aunt Linda, you and Uncle Tom were always my favorites. I can remember every time he came in the house he always asked me what flavor my thumb was: Choc or vanilla. Of course being a kid, it was always Chocolate. I didn't see Uncle Tom very much in the last years but he will always be my favorite Uncle.

Dear Linda and family, We are so sorry to learn of Tom's passing. He was such a central part of the chemistry department at State High for many years and I enjoyed being part of the team with him there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time and we hope your many happy memories with your husband and father will bring comfort in the years ahead. Blessings, Mary Alice and Courtney

Tom was a truly kind gentleman. He guided me through many interesting nights in the football box during State High games. Kiki and I remember him sharing thoughtful comments during post game food and beverage outings. Tom was loyal to the field of education, and he was highly respected for that. We send our best to Linda and the children. I’m sure Tom, TK, and Ron are swapping stories. Rest In Peace, our friend. Gary & Kiki Pavlechko
