Tom's Story

Left Santa Clara right after graduation to head to New Jersey...graduated from NJ Institute of Technology and went right to work. Met Nancy in May 1973 at Western Electric in Newark, NJ. We married in November 1973 and have been together ever since. We are blessed with two great daughters, Heather and Laura...and now three incredible grandchildren. Heather, now 45, graduated from Drew University in Madison, New Jersey in May 2001 and was employed by Chubb Insurance Group until July 2003. She graduated from The University of Georgia in Athens in May 2005 with a Masters in College Student Affairs. She went to work at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island and is now Class Dean at Babson College in Boston, MA. Heather married her college sweetheart, Matt Miller, in a July 2008 ceremony at the Drew University Chapel in New Jersey. Matt works at Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, MA. Heather and Matt are now the proud parents of Adalyn Drew Miller born on April 9, 2015 in Norwood, MA. Adalyn was delivered by the Norwood EMS/Firefighters in the back of the EMS vehicle on the way to the hospital. What a story she can tell. Adalyn is our third grandchild. Laura, now 43, graduated from Seton Hall University double majoring in Elementary and Special Education. She now teaches Special Ed in Cranbury, New Jersey. Laura and Mike Mills were married August 4, 2007 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception on Cabbage Island !! They presented Nancy and I with a new grandson...our first...on January 31, 2009 at the University Medical Center in Princeton, NJ. Cole Garret Mills is just the best young man !!! Caroline Eva Mills, our second grandchild, ...Expand for more
was born on May 31, 2012 at University Medical Center in Princeton, NJ. She is a cutie and a heck of a dancer !!! I retired from Lucent Technologies in 2001 after 30 years...took about 15 months off and reengaged as a Vice President with The Hartford Financial Services Group in Hartford, Connecticut in September 2002. Nancy retired from Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, New Jersey in February 2004. We relocated to West Hartford, Connecticut in April 2004. I left The Hartford in October 2005 and Nancy and I moved to Cary, North Carolina to be near my parents and my brothers. My parents' health was failing and we needed to spend more time with them. My Mom passed away on November 10, 2006 and my Dad just 5 days later on November 15, 2006. She was 89 and my Dad was 87. We held a full military honors internment service for them both at Arlington National Cemetery on April 6, 2007. My younger brother Doug is a retired FEDEX pilot and lives nearby in Apex, NC...and my older brother Mike (a class of 1962 Buchser graduate) retired from Volvo White GMC trucks in Greensboro, NC where he lives. We've been traveling alot...a cruise in the Mediterranean; trip to Spain; European River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest; Aruba; a trip thru the Netherlands & Belgium; an August 2013 trip thru Scotland and Ireland; an August 2014 trip thru Sweden, Denmark and Norway; an 18 day trip to New Zealand in April-May of 2015; a tour of the English and Welsh countryside in 2016; a cruise in the Baltic Sea that included 3 days in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2017...an amazing place to visit; a cruise to Southern Italy and Croatia in 2018; and a 12 day tour of Ireland, in 2019. Really enjoying retired life.
