I never had the pleasure of knowing Tom. I went to school with Kris at Nottingham and know any family lucky enough to have Kris as it's matriarch must have had a terrific man at the helm. Kris, may your family sooth your pain and usher you through to future happiness. Gary Kaplan -

Dear Kris, Chris & Tory - I am so saddened to hear that Tom passed away. I have MANY fond memories of growing up and spending those summer days on Skaneateles Lake with all of you. I know that he and my Mom are looking down on all of us from a better place (and having a few laughs, I'm sure!) My thoughts go out to all of you and our family sends best wishes. -John Sammut

I am very sorry for the loss of Tom Gregg whom I have known for over 19 years. During that period of time there has always been one constant in his life. Tom would always ask about my family. This was always followed by a big smile in person or a happy voice on the telephone when he spoke of his wife, his son and his daughter.
I have never seen Tom approach any situation without a level of confidence that was very contagious. I could call Tom for advice whether it was business or personal he always had the time to talk. When Tom was an executive for a large electronics company in Pennsylvania and he would travel to the cable expositions my equipment reviews were never complete without spending time with him sometimes just passing on a joke or two.
Tom was a good friend and business associate. When I spoke with Tom last month I had no idea what he was experiencing. He will be missed by all and we can take comfort in the fact that he is in a better place.
Our condolences to you Kristen, Christopher and Dr. Victoria Kuester. You are in our prayers. Kelvin & Kimberly Smith (Scottsdale, AZ)

Carroll and I have such fond memories of Tom in Skaneateles and the many times on the Chesapeake Bay. It's hard to think that he has gone on.
Kris, even though you and we have gone from Skaneateles, we hope to see you back there some time.

I knew Tom 30 years ago in Syracuse thru our mutual friend, Paul Brown and liked him very much. Last summer while vacationing in VA, I looked him up and we had dinner-a great guy-he'll be missed by all who knew him.

I will miss Tom as well. He was always a true professional, ethical and kind. I think I can speak for many Williamsburg Realtors®; it was an honor and a privilege to have Tom as a friend and colleague.
I am sorry for your lose. We will remember him fondly.

I will miss Tom so much! He always had a smile for me, and a cheery hello! I would just have to smile when he would walk in with that jaunty hat that he wore. I'm so sorry for your lost! (Bookkeeper, Prudential Towne Realty)
