Good by my brother. Your soul will be missed by many. You will be and always have been my brother and my life will be less complete without you around. You fought so hard in life and left a positive mark on it. Rest in peace my friend.

I met Tom once in Virginia. I will never forget the odd and humorous cameras he made and his enjoyment of life...pinhole and surfing are two things we had in common. A true "liver" of life. We will miss his presence and wish his family the best.

I am greatly saddened with Tom's passing. We were friends over the Internet starting with the old pinhole discussion group. He had a strong spirit and fought a long and hard fight with his cancer. But through it all he stayed so positive. He was so creative in his approach to pinhole photography and definitely inspired so many with his images and his willingness to share thoughts and solutions with others. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this difficult time.

Very sorry. I got to know Tom over the internet a few years ago. We put together a collection of his pinhole photos on my website. They chronicled his experience with cancer in a bold and honest way. I had a lot of respect for Tom. We lost touch over the years, but I'll miss knowing he's not around just the same. My best regards to his family and to Janet.

I am saddened to learn of Tom's passing. He was a true pioneer of the pinhole renaissance, experimenting with its many techniques while creating masterful images. We never met in person; but I was fortunate to have a few phone conversations with Tom. His spirit will live on. Tiny aperture photographers everywhere will remember his signature phrase "Keep on Pinholin'."

I am very sad that I never got to meet Tom. I would have loved to have talked with him about photography. Andrew said many great things about his brother and I know "Tommy" was his hero. At least he is in a better place and the love of his life is now with him. Condolences to the family.
