To the Tommy Wells family,
Please allow me to convey my heartfelt sympathy during your loss. Tom was a cousin, on his mother's side. Our mothers were sisters. I am Aunt Viola's son, David. I remember when Tommy lived in Burlington, VT on Johnson Street, before the family moved to Troy, NY. Aunt Vick was very proud of her "soldier boy", as she called him, making the whole family respectful of his enlistment in the armed forces. He is now with his family in Heaven. May he rest in the Palm of Jesus Hand. God bless you my cousin.

To Tom's family and close friends,
We worked with Tom for several years at BOCES. He was consistently a gentleman, an innovator, and an advocate for students and programs at Herkimer BOCES.
Jasmin and I are deeply saddened by his passing, and extend our sincerest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to those who mourn his passing.
Tom was one of the best. He truly was.
May God grant his family and close friends peace and comfort during their time of mourning.
May they long cherish his memory.
Paul & Jasmin Mortka

I am so sorry for your loss... Mr Wells was a very inspiring, energetic, caring teacher...shared his love for cooking with many classes...i graduated class of 2001...as it sounds he gave many family members nicknames as he did his students...
I remember walking up the ramp to class and hearing "the sun will come out tomorrow" as my name is Ann and I looked like Annie when I was in school...he will be deeply missed by many...sending condolences

To the entire Wells family, I was smiley class of 2002 who married Sampson class of 2002. Our hearts are just breaking learning of chef Wells passing. We still giggle at some of the stories he told us and techniques we learned to this day. I still remember taking a class trip to Rhode island to tour a culinary college, apparently our group was disrespectful to the college tour guides, I think even prank calls were linked back to some of our pranksters, Some things were broken in the junky hotel the college had etc... Mr Wells somehow convinced the college that we were from a troubled school and had special needs and he was trying so hard to teach us live skills to clear us all from having to pay damages. We boarded the bus to come home and he laughed and laughed and then chewed our butts the whole way home. He taught respect and he earned it from each of us and never knew any of our real names. May you all never really know how many of his"kids" he really touched and made an impact on! Prayers for you all Tracey and Phil Harvey

Me. Wells was a great teacher. He taught me well. I even loved seeing him again when The Java Shop was in the Ilion mall. It made my day when he remembered who I was. He will be greatly missed. He was a great man as well. Fly high Mr. wells.

Tom was a great friend.... Ilion Community Watch was a big part of his portfolio of achievements. He "raised" many great chef's at Herkimer BOCES and never took any of the credit for their work. He never passed a chance to greet a friend or to make a new one. He will be greatly missed by all of us that knew him. Thank you for sharing this great man with his community.... May He Forever Rest In Peace !!!

I worked Maintenance at BOCES. I always enjoyed working with Tom and sharing war stories . I was Navy so we had fun teasing each other. I worked second shift and he always had a pot of coffee ready for me when I came in. He always had some great stories. He loved the kids he taught. You are in our prayers. Keith Brown

Joan, I am so sorry to hear about Tom. I will always remember him monitoring the halls outside the cafeteria at BOCES. He was a great teacher and a great cook. I loved his soups, and his smile and witty comments always brightened my day. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family. Love, Joanne Valentine.

I'll never forget seeing him on my daily walks at camp! He was always tinkering with something, mostly his boat. Always spoke to my little daughter Emma as well... He will be missed at camp

Dear family of Mr. Wells, I was saddened to hear of Toms passing. He truly was an amazing person, one of a kind and his students loved and respected him deeply! He incorporated so much fun into his classes even though he was very disciplined and precise at what he taught. God be with you all through this most difficult time. Debbie Sweeney
