Like Tom I was class of 73 at Flowing Wells High School. Again like Tom we both choose the same profession and saw each other frequently at the architecture college. Over the years we would have lunch and catch up with each other. While 38 years may seem like a long time to know some one, its not. His passing makes that time period seem much too short. I will miss his friendship.

Tom was a cool guy, a good architect and a funny man. His irreverent sense of humor always had me reeling with laughter. He had a great look at life and his circumspect nature and insight is what made his humor so infectious. Signs of wise and intelligent man. That humor will forever have me smiling.

I had a great time knowing Tom during architecture school in Tucson. He loved life and was the first to laugh with his fantastic sense of humor. The great memories of the times we had in design lab will never leave my mind and heart as Tom was one of my best friends from those times. Adios old friend!
My prayers and good thoughts go out to Tom's family.

This is a shock. I just saw Tom a while back at lunch with his fellow workers. We talked, and who ever knows when this is going to happen. You have my deepest sympathy in this time of grief.

I am at a loss for words. Tom was a man with so many fine attributes. Above all, I will always remember him as a great friend - going all the way back to our days working together at the Revco Drug Store on Grant Road, where we first met. Tom's laugh. Was there anyone who had a more boisterous or infectious laugh? We had some great adventures and shared some great times together over the years. I'm going to miss him and that great laugh of his tremendously. I already do. Love to Sarah, Emelia and Roberto.

Sarah-
I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. While I may have met him a time or two, I didn't really know him. However, I know you, and we would get together to discuss my investments (remember those days, when people had money?), the conversation would always include family. It was so obvious to me from listening to you that you guys had something not many people do, that you were soulmates and I found that refreshing in this day and age. I cannot relate to what you must be feeling. However, you and your family are in my prayers that God may help you through this incredibly difficult time.

I was shocked to read of Tom's passing. We had worked together many years ago at Kim Acorn & Assc..
I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived
November 11, 2010
I first met Tom at the U of A when we were in school. Later , Tom and I
worked together at Kim Acorn's office back in the early 80's. I saw that
he was one of the few people there who knew what he was doing
and who was hard-working and committed to architecture. I respected
him at that time and we became friends.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) we, at that time, shared the same
sense of "humor". We were both cynical and sarcastic and rarely
showed any mercy to those around us. Tom was extremely
quick-witted, insightful and perceptive. We had a lot funny, crazy
and outragious times together and I still wonder how we survived
many of the situations that we would deliberately put ourselves
into. I believe its because we kept each other away from things that
were illegal, dangerous or violent. We did everything for laughs
and together we had plenty. We seemed to save our "best"
material for Halloween ( it was a long time ago for both of us).
Tom really did love to play basketball and we would hit
various gyms around town on a regular basis. He was a very
intense, focused, physical and hard-working player. He was always
willing to do the "dirty" work on the court (rebound, play hard-nosed
defense and set vicious screens). I always liked being on the same
team with him because he would always pass me the ball for wide
open shots. I hated playing against because he really enjoyed
delivering his brand of "cheap shots". He played like a combination
of Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason.
I've known Tom for a long time and I have seen him during the
good times and the not-so-good times, but he was always loyal,
trust-worthy and dependable to me. He was a very good friend
to me at a time in my life when I needed a good friend. He is truly
irreplaceble and I know that I will miss him deeply.
I hope and pray that Tom's family and friends will find peace
and comfort during their time of grief and loss.
