I am deeply saddened to hear to Tom's passing. I have many fond memories of him at our Gradison days. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Schmidt family.

Words cannot express our sadness in the loss of Tom. Working with Hank and Tom at Gradison was a joyful experience. Since I was old enough to be his mother, Tom loved to tease and say outrageous things just to see my reaction -- but always in a loving way. I can still hear his laughter! Later, as our financial advisor, we always felt secure in the way he handled our account. We will miss him greatly. Our deepest sympathy to Hank, Patty, Vira , Derek, Lindsey, Elena, and the extended Schmidt and Bartel family. You are in our hearts and prayers. May the wonderful memories of him give you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

I'll never forget the first time we met Tom as he walked over to our driveway, sat down, and started chatting like we were old friends. He was always that way...kind, fun, and friendly. Also, so very proud of and loving with his family. We were lucky to have known him as a neighbor and friend. My heart breaks for Vira, Elena, Lindsey, Derek, his parents, and all of his family. We will keep you all in our prayers. God bless.

Please accept my deepest sympathy in your loss. I was a client of Tom. He was always professional but most of all so down to earth. He never missed a time bragging about how much he thought of his wife and children. He was so proud of his family. May God hold you in the palm of his hands right now. Lynn Schaefer

Tom was one of those guys that always had a smile on his face and a warm hug for a friend. I enjoyed so many camp outs, parties and fun times with Tom 'back in the day' of high school and college - summer fun at it's best. I am so sorry for your loss to have someone so great taken so early. May the memories that he shared with you keep you and help you find peace.

Time and distance does nothing to friendships that were of our childhood....those are truly embedded in my heart, as is that of the friendship between Patty and my mom, Mr. Schmidt and my dad.
I am so deeply sorry that God decided he wanted Tom so much sooner.
I send you my deepest sympathy, a giant hug, and will pray for you and the rest of your family!
Love,
