I remember Tom from my days in highschool in the early 60's. He smiled and laughed a lot. I didn't know him well but his smile and laughter are unforgetable. Que descanse en Paz. Lo vamos a alcanzar.

It was an honor and privilege to know Tom as a grandfather, father and coach. I know he'll be at the state track meet this Friday to cheer on the Taos Tiger relay teams in their effort to gain entry to the finals on Saturday as you know he never missed a state meet!!! I saw him two weeks ago at the Taos Relays and was always glad to see him!! I will miss seeing him at the games but I know he's there!! May God bless each of you with peace and comfort in the days ahead!!
Love to all....Natalie, Menard, Antonio and Carlos Martinez

From my earliest days in the Taos School system, Mr. Martinez was always there. I grew up with him in my school years. He was a good coach and leader. It was always reassuring to know he was on the field or court with you. I remember him very fondly. Rest in peace, Mr. Martinez...
