Spoke to Ellen Goodrich late last week and she told me about Tom. It was very obvious how much you cared for him because you always smiled when you spoke about him. I am so sorry for your loss. The world needs more people that make others smile.

Debbie, Tim & I know how blessed we were to know such a wonderful person. Tom's sense of humor, his competitive nature (gotta love the bean bag toss) & his ultimate kindness to all God's creatures big & small will never be forgotten by us.
(My iron will never ever be plugged in unattended!) We will always have wonderful memories
God Bless you.

Tom will be truly missed. I worked with him for years. He would make me laugh often with his freindly ripping of the Cubs and the pictures above his desk.

My sincerest condolences to you and you family.

Debra,
What can I say. When Jerry and I worked at Unisource, Tom was the highlight of my day. He kept our school and government deliveries on trac and he cared when it seemed no one else did. He would cringe and pretend to run when he would see me coming with problems. He would show me the hand when it got to be to much. He was the sweetie of sweeties and he would never live down the kiss and hug I planted on him when I left the company. He will be sorely missed but I know that he will keep God, the angels and anyone else who will listen in stitches forever.

Dear Deb, Chris, Rich & Family,
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your beloved husband, father and grandfather. He was a wonderful friend and we have fond memories of great times spent with you guys. We will miss his funny jokes and quirky little smile.
Tommy, thank you for your cherished friendship and for your loyal service to our country in Viet Nam. Every sand bag game played from here on in will be dedicated to you. May the Love of Those You Left Behind Carry You on Angels Wings to Heaven...
With Sympathy, Love & Friendship,
Helen, Stan & Michael Rzasa

Deb -

I never actually met Tom, nor really knew him. But he always sounded like a pretty cool dude when he'd call in looking for you...and a pretty fun guy from all the stories you told us! Its a shame that he had to make such an early exit.

If you need any help during this difficult time, you know how to reach me.

My condolences to you, and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Tom for the last 9 years he took me under his wing the first day. I will miss him very much, everyday he had a story about (dingo or jack) and his one-line saying that he always used were the best! Thank you for sharing Tom with us at Unisource.
