Tom Nunes
WO Thomas "Tom" E Nunes USMC (ret) passed away January 6, 2009 in Havelock, NC following a prolonged illness. He was 52.
Tom was a warrant officer in the US Marine Corps. He retired after 21 years of faithful service to his country.
He was a 1974 graduate of Jefferson High School in Tampa, FL and is remembered fondly by his classmates. For several years before his illness became debilitating Tom kept in touch with many from his class, aiding reunion plans and helping to locate missing classmates.
Says JHS alumnist, Alice Allen, "Tom and I scoured the Internet searching for our lost friends. Some were not found, but Tom always expressed a special joy with each success. His love for his friends was remarkable. Tom was our beacon, our harbor light. He will be greatly missed."
Before his passing Tom and his family established generous gifts to charitable causes including the Blind Babies Foundation (blindbabies.org) and Guide Dogs for the Blind (guidedogs.com).
Tom is survived by his wife, Helga and son, Justin T Nunes, both of Havelock; four brothers, a sister, and his parents, all of Florida.
His remains were cremated.
