Tom will be greatly missed and is an example for all of us for perservering despite adversity. Yours truly, Michele and Tom
To Tom’s family, please accept my condolences for your loss. I always enjoyed seeing Tom and talking with him at races. He was such a positive person and a class act all the way. I will miss him and expect I will think about him at some point at every race from now on. Here’s to Tom Brannon, a great runner and a great person! Thank you for being such a fine role model to all of us in the Rochester running community.
tom was a fixture at many of the races that I ran ….. always a kind word and a lively passion to talk about running, fitness, clothes, life, etc …. he told me recently that he was very pleased to be back running again …. he always communicated the most positive outlook on running and on life whenever our paths crossed ….
Tom…I can’t believe your not here…running in heaven I’m sure…with other mutual running friends.. Charlie Mc Mullen, Jim Ferris. Tom lived a very full life..nut just his runnnig carerr..but his Navy life…and his rock promotions career..Bill Haley and the Comets….etc Tom was one of my best running friends….and we like to talk about our running ups and downs…and talk about race times we’d like to have but never do.. its fun to dream… Miss you man….I will think of you when ever I run……..
We will miss you tom.
