I'll always remember Tom's phone message, thanking me for being his friend. Tom was one of the most noble, humble and kind people I have ever met. I'm sure the good lord will provide some fishing for Tom. Gayle and I are proud to have known him.

My brother is and, always will be my best friend. Words can not carry you through life, only love can. With a heavy heart I say good-by but, not for ever, as all of us will find our way home. Be your best, have fun and spread the true joy of your heart to all that will listen, for now and for ever your sister, your friend. Sandy

Tom,

I will always remember how good you were to my sister and my family. My greatest memory is you always calling me "little buddy" everytime we were around each other. You will be missed.
