Every time Virgil Wyaco was late to work, he thought about Marshall Tome.
His former boss in developing a television news report and a radio station on the Navajo Nation was the model of promptness, Wyaco said.
“We were supposed to go to work at eight in the morning, but he was at the office at seven in the morning,” Wyaco said. “He would tell me, ‘Virgil, you’re late, the New Yorkers went to work two hours ago, where were you?”’ When he heard recently that Tome had passed away, Wyaco recalled a boss who was a workaholic, a good friend who always kept in touch and a mentor who instilled in him a habit of being on time.
“He was a very good man and we will really miss him,” Wyaco said.
