Judge Roy S. Payne of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a former law clerk for Judge Stagg, and a former [[U.S. Magistrate Judge]] working with Judge Stagg stated that <blockquote>forty years ago, Tom Stagg took me into his circle for what I expected would just be a two-year job. But he shaped me in ways I didn't then understand, and forever altered the path of my life. His nurture and wise counsel are always in the back of my mind and the minds of the two generations of lawyers who have worked in his chambers. Put simply, he is the greatest man I have ever known.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/local/2015/06/24/tom-stagg-top-area-us-judge-dies/29201877/|title=Tom Stagg top area U.S. judge, dies|author=John Andrew Prime|publisher=''The Shreveport Times''}}</ref></blockquote>​

Judge Dee Dodson Drell of the federal court in [[Alexandria, Louisiana|Alexandria]], called Stagg <blockquote>one of the finest people I have ever known. He had it all: Intelligence, spirit, patriotism, wisdom and wit! When he taught you a lesson in the law, you never forgot it, and neither did he. He and the life he lived made me a better lawyer, a better judge and, most importantly, a better person. I shall miss his Friday, late afternoon, call just to see who was still in the office.<ref name=staggbio/></blockquote>​
