Tom Nousaine - The Ace of Bass
was a close friend to Nijole' and myself.

Ground breaking technical articles by Tom were common and enlightening.

He loved his family dearly as well as many musical performers and Life in general.

He leaves behind a life long companion, dear sweet Paula.

He leaves behind a beautiful family

If the world produced more people of Tom's caliber, we would
all benefit immensely.

Tom in in a better place now where he will continue his advanced state of the art work.

Tom in early life was a boy scout and a wrestler.

Tom was also a care provider to his family members

Dear Family,
Sorry to hear of Tom's death. I knew Tom as an avid audio enthusiast, and was always glad to meet him at Audio Conventions. We drove to a meeting at his home some 7-10 years ago. I will miss his sharp observations and interesting conversation.
