My other message had typos. Tom and I were very good friends in late 60s and shared many times during those turbulent years. I wish his family the best; he was the best.

Gayle and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will always remember him as a man who loved his family, great sport and competitor. As you know he would always stay in top shape and win many of his tennis matches because of his good conditining. His efforts in organizing the tennis team provided everyone with years of enjoyment and comradery. He is greatly missed.

Though we are long time neighbors, we have not gotten to know each other. Still from next door it was obvious to see how devoted Tom was to Matthew over the years. We will miss the occassional hellos from over the fence and offer our deepest sympathies for your loss.

I worked with Tom at the AMA for many, many years and he was one of the nicest people and the most consummate professionals I had the pleasure of working with. I was extremely saddened to hear of his passing. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Although we did not have the pleasure of getting to know Tom, our prayers and thoughts go out to Jean and her son. As people of faith, we believe that Tom is now without pain and is looking down on his family and friends with a smile.

Kathy and I know you will cherish the good memories of a fine husband, father and friend.

God bless.

I first met Tom in 1982. We worked together for nearly 20 years. He was one of the most decent people I ever knew - loved life, took care of himself, adored his son and wife. I will miss him very much. He reminded me of what was really important in life - integrity. I am richer for having known him.

Saying Tom was a devoted Father seems like an understatement.. there are no words to express how much he cherished his son and family.. he was a very special guy and will be missed..
