Thomas Melvin WOODS

I knew Tom since we were in school & even after he moved back east he would call us & keep us up to date on what he was doing. He always had something interesting to say. We will miss him.

thoughts on my friend Tom:
Tom was a strong man:strong mind, strong will, strong body.
He had a great sense of humor and a lightning quick wit. He had great enthusiasm for life, which did not diminish with time.
Tom was a loyal friend. He placed a much higher value on quality than quantity in his friendships.
Those of us who knew him well are saddened by his passing. He will be missed. But he has left us with many good and happy memories that will last us forever.

Tom taught me to obey all the rules, all the time. I'll never get his voice out of my head.

My forever friend. Love you Tom. ❤

I was sorry to hear of Tom's passing ... I cared for his many cats while I practiced in the Long Lane area. I will always remember how impressive he was in his rigorous swimming and how he taught himself how to speak German simply by checking out books that he already knew in English. He was a very kind and compassionate man to both people and animals ... and the world will be smaller with out him.
