Teresa Brummett - aka "Chenniel" as Uncle Tom called me! Tim and I were always so excited to see him and Auntie Pat and go out on the boat. We would ask "Permission to come aboard captin!" and he would say "Permission Granted!". I loved him very much and will miss him deeply.

Uncle Tom,
The first thing I think about is not your iconic mustache, your salt-water aquarium, or electric piano that nobody ever played; it's your voice. I can still hear you in my mind as you call out to Charlie to pilot your boat and calling Teresa and I ‘Captain and Tennille’. I remember hearing you chuckle while standing in front of your fireplace and shouting ‘fire on’ and, to this day, I still don’t know how you started the fire from across the living room. I miss you Uncle Tom.

Well Tomasco, it's time to say goodbye to my "brother", and to our artichoke war, which we each claimed we won. Over the more than 65 years we knew each other, we shared good times and tough times. I hope there's fishing in the place you now reside. Say hello to Nana and Poppa for me.
Love, Noreen.

I will always remeber your love of family. Uncle Tom you and Aunt Pat gave me wonderful memories I will never forget. The time we spent on the boat in SF Bay family together. God Bless your wondeful soul. We love you.
Always Your Neice

Uncle Tom - I remember so many fun times with you. One of my favorite memories is when I got to be co-pilot of the "Skipjack" boat and ride with you from Sausalito to Napa when I was 13. You were so fun - thanks for making our times so special.

We love you Tom.

His legacy will live on with his loving family. He was a great uncle to me and we shared many good times. I was an official co-pilot on the "Skip Jack, an honor I took very seriously. God speed, Uncle Tom. Much love, Becky.
