Despite officially retiring in 2011, Tom was still a frequent presence at the school, teaching driver training and substitute teaching. His death ended over 30 years of service to the school and community.
Tom is survived by his daughter and son, Camille and Tasman Loustalet; his foster children, Rosa Solorio, Manual Ayala, and Mike Taylor; and his brother Michael Loustalet.
