Thomas Daniel Stromberg, born May 5, 1953 in Albuquerque, died Monday, April 17, 2000, in a traffic accident in San Mateo, CA. Tom's charismatic personality brought spirit, creativity, adventure, and a sense of fun to both his family, and hundreds of devoted friends in San Mateo and San Francisco CA, and Seattle, WA. Tom leaves behind a distinguished career in Information Systems, most recently serving as CIO for Walmart.com. He held similar positions in banking and retail services, but more than anything, Tom was a totally dedicated family man. Tom leaves behind Louise, his beloved wife of 17 years; his sons, John and Michael; and his daughter, Katherine. No child was without a playmate if Tom was nearby, and the Stromberg home was a constant center of action, sports and play, always open to friends and visitors. Tom attended St. Pius X High School and the University of New Mexico. Tom is also survived by his parents, Patricia and Robert; sisters, Mary Ann and Marcella (Albuquerque); brother, Mark (Carmel Valley, CA), Peter and James (Albuquerque), Paul (Portland, OR); and numerous nieces and nephews.
