Very saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was a valued business associate and somewhat of a mentor to me. I can only reiterate the wonderful comments of others. Tom was a gentlemen. A wise steady performer who wasn't tempted by passing fancy and trends. He could always be counted on. He will be missed.

Tom was one of life's gentlemen. He was kind and generous and loved his sport of model yachting. We can remember him and only that he is gone or we can cherish his memory and let it live on.

Tom was kind, gentle and generous, friendly and cheerful to all of us. We shared rides to distant sailing regattas which gave us a chance to talk about our families, our work and interests outside of model yacht sailing. I will miss Tom's camaraderie and encouragement but most of all I will miss his genuine friendship. I am out of town on business this week and can not get to the wake. Warmest regards,

I'm sure Tom will be missed by many of us who sailed with him! Tom was always willing to help to set the trim of our boats and helping the club in any way that he could. Tom was always a true gentleman and great sailor. May God grant him fair winds and following seas!

I will miss Tom and his continued help in teaching me how to sail as good as I can. When I first met Tom I didn't sail at all. With his help he has made this a happy hobby. Thanks Tom
