Biography
Thomas "Tom" Joseph Ammerman was a 1974 graduate of Villanova, and a marketing manager for the shipping firm United States Navigation Co., Inc. He was returning home after a three day business trip. Tom was survived by his wife, Carolyn Mater Ammerman, and his two daughters, Casey and Jill. He also left behind his mother, Margaret McLoughlin Ammerman; two brothers, Herbert J. Jr. and Robert; and two sisters, Mary Anne Lumley and Catherine Barry. Tom was predeceased by his father, who passed in August of 1988.
Tom was described as "an interior sort of man. There was a quietness, an inner calm
and depth of being about him that enable him to be very responsive to people and
supportive of them in their needs."
