I'll never forget Tom and the pet cicada he carried on his shoulder into that swanky hotel in DC...and the mounds of crab we ate......dance clubs and music...lots of music. Simpler times with simple pleasures. Sleep well, Tom.
Peace and comfort to Tom's family.

The thing I remember most about Tom was from his visit to our Fountain Valley house. I was probably about 8 years old at the time, and I thought Tom was really cool. He had this great sound system with flashing light boxes. He would sit in his room and play some of his favorite music on the stereo. Fun times!
May special memories like these keep Tom alive in your hearts. God bless you all.
Love,
Wendy

My cousin Tom is a vivid part of memories of my young teen years. I will always remember Tom's time living with us in California. Coming from a family of 4 girls, it was like having a 'big brother'. Whenever I hear music from Credence Clearwater I am transported to memories of Tom. (He had a cool stereo with 'disco lights' in his room, and let us 'hang out' and listen to 'cool' music.)
May Tom rest peacefully. My love and prayers to my Aunt Phyllis and my cousin Kathy and her family.
Love,
Lauri

We have some fond memories of Tom. We never saw each other that much as we lived on the west coast and Tom lived on the east coast. He did drive out to the west coast when he was in his 20's and stayed with us for a short time. We enjoyed having a guy around the house as we only had girls.
We know that these last few years he helped take care of his mother, even though he had severe health problems.
May his pains be over and may he be with his father. May God bless him.
Love,
Aunt Gloria and Uncle Bob

I'll mostly remember Tom from the time he drove cross country and stayed with us in Fountain Valley for a while. He certainly had some interesting experiences in California.
Aunt Phyllis, Kathy and family, my love and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Love, Carolyn
