Thomas E Royal

Thank you for for being a great beekeeper friend - I enjoyed listening to you about your bees and your methods and sharing ideas. You were much appreciated.

As we age, we "get" the idea that trees we plant are meant to be enjoyed by those we will never know. We prepare now for what the younger folk will improve on.
This is a burden we take on. Occasionally (far too often) we see the younger genius, those better than we, fall when they should outlive us.
Fate makes fools out of us all.

I have been friends with Thomas and Marcia for decades.
We have camped together, helped serve our ideals together, and enjoyed many happy...

Tom will always be an inspiration with his quiet humor and acts of spontaneous kindness.....He will remain a part of us forever. Love from, Donna, Daniel, and Charmaine

His passing was a huge blow to many of us. He was one of the most gracious open hearted kindest people I've ever met. Our world is much the less for him not being in it. Marcia, know that we all share your grief and that you are not alone.

Soon after I became Pastor of Community Bible Church (Concrete), Tom and Marcia asked me if I would be willing to conduct their wedding ceremony. I said yes. Then they added, "But would you be willing to dress like a monk to do the ceremony?" It's a question I had never been asked before (and never have been asked since). When I asked why, they both excitedly shared about their interests and hobbies. Especially of their involvement with SCA. It was a wonderful ceremony and looking at...

Thank you for the good memories and inspiring me to be a better person. I´ll see you in Valhalla when the time comes.

I am very blessed and thankful to have known Tom and Marcia while involved with their SCA interest of horses. Tom is really one of my favorite all-time people. Always a smile, often with a gift of honey or coffee. I don’t think I ever saw a frown stay too long on his face. He had a great sense of humor and adventure. With a Skagit County Fair coming up next week I have a fond memory of my friend in chainmaile posing for a picture with me! You are already missed Tom!

Tom was my nephew and raised with my children as we then lived in Sedro Woolley. He was always the kindest and most helpful person you could find. His sharp sense of humor and ability for hilarious comebacks was known by everyone he met. He never me a person that he could not find something good about, and defend them if he didn't feel people were analyzing them fairly. All of these traits made him the person that we will always think of with love and miss in the most deep part of our heart....
