My siblings and I have wonderful memories of times he spent with his friend, our dad, and our family. He was a kind person, so much fun to be around, and his friendship was dear to my parents. May his memory be a blessing.

Donna,
What a wonderful spirit Tom has to shape a memory of him. I had the pleasure of his instruction into the world of flight- something in which he was very skilled. He is loved by many of us who had the gift to have known him. Alison and I offer our deepest sympathies and hope you are well.

Donna,
We just wanted to extend our heartfelt condolences for the loss of Tom. I'm thankful that I was able to meet Steve's father and I know that he is truly grateful for reuniting with him. I pray for peace and comfort during this time.
