Sorry for your loss!! Met Tom in Qualicum B.C. played golf with him and his long time friend Rick Kennedy. Gave him a large salmon to share with his in laws. He was such a nice guy, down to earth and a good sense of humor. Loved the story of him taking the train to Edmonton to play for the oil kings at 16, the porter came up to him and said stay on the train you got traded to Medicine Hat!!

I am just learning about Tom's death. I am sorry. Please accept my deepest condolences, sympathy and prayers. I am sorry it took so long to find out about this. I helped Tom with the Quarter Horses from time to time as needed. I used to work for Ronnie Hodges Cutting Horses in Jersey, Ga., near Social Circle, GA. I always enjoyed visiting the house. I remember his wife and daughter. He would always talked about how much they loved the horses and German Shepherds that were at the house. I also...

I was a kid from High Prairie and Tom was our hero in a town that bled hockey. My father, Jim Kozie coached Tom as a kid with the High Prairie Regals, before Tom moved on to Junior Hockey, and I got to watch my hockey hero up close. As a member of the Atlanta Flames we went to watch Tom play in the scared space that was the Montreal Forum. Our prayers and wonderful memories of Tom remain in our hearts. #12 Forever. Love and deepest sympathy to his family. God Bless.
