Thom was so kind to me when we worked together teaching at Glen Cove High School. I learned a lot from him both professionally and as a human being. He was definitely one of the most gifted educators I’ve ever been privileged to know. He touched so many kids’ lives and changed the trajectories of so many. The world is a better place because of his life. May he Rest In Peace.

Sending heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Ruckert (as he will always be to me). As a former student of his, I can attest that he was inspirational beyond most.
He always listened and treated his students as worthy people. I believe his light will shine on.

Our family is very sorry for your loss. You can never replace a family member especially someone as special as a Father. He knows how loved he was by his family. Remember Thom would want you all to be strong and survive this delicate time. Think of all the “ Great times” as they will help you all through the “ Hard times”. Remember him always as a strong man that always put family first. Thom loves you all so much and he still loves you from Heaven. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers forever.
Love the Flynn’s

I learned on the night of July 18 that one of my best friends, brother from another mother, and former brother-in-law Thom Ruckert had just passed. Words can't express how sorry I am at his loss, and especially for his wife and daughters and the whole family. Thom was a special man, unique, caring, just plain cool.
Two words that come to mind about Thom are Aspiration and Inspiration. He taught his students at Glen Cove High School to aspire, as he inspired them daily. He did the same with his college students, with friends, and with family. We aspired to be like Thom, we were inspired by what he said and did, and HOW he said and did them.
Billy Joel said only the good die young..... I'm sorry he was so right. Rest In Peace, my friend

Sitting here in a beautiful cottage overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean watching creating …I was one of Toms first students at Glen Cove high school . Tom thank you for your guidance and your faith in my creativity . When others thought me crazy you thought me talented . You saw it , you listened you fished it out of me , encouraged it and frankly I would be no where today without your kindness . Tom was not only a fine teacher but a friend when I believed I had few . I will never forget the day I ran into him after so many years . The joy, that smile that look on his face when I told him I had succeeded .I wish I could be there today but I am out of the country doing what I do best and I got here without a doubt because of a wonderful human being named Mr .Tom Ruckert My sympathies to all.

My children were fortunate to attend the SC Village Preschool under the loving care of Valerie, where I met Thom. Thom had such a gentle way with the children and every spring he would come to school with his big video camera to capture a day in the life of these precious little preschoolers. Thom would return to film the children who were absent so that they would all be included in his priceless and funny videos. (way before the days of photoshop) It would be hard to find two kinder people on this planet than Thom and Valerie. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.

So sad to hear this news . What a inspirational man! One of the best educators most of us encountered in our lives so many kids from GCHS went on to work in the TV / Radio / entertainment world because of him exposing the industry to us.

I’m shocked and saddened to hear of Mr. Ruckert’s passing. He was an incredible teacher who changed my life. He’s the reason I became a teacher. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on

Shocked and so very sorry to hear this yesterday. Mr. Ruckert was the most beloved teacher at GCHS for a long time. He was always the one invited to the prom or reunions. I graduated in 1976 and he would come into the gym and play basketball with us all the time. Great guy and I was fortunate enough to move to Bayville 12 years ago where the Ruckerts are my neighbors. He was always there with a kind word and sense of humor. Going to miss him.

We loved Thom very much. He was so kind and gentle. When we were with him and Valerie we always felt peaceful and felt cared for.
God be with his whole family and friends.
