I was so saddened to read that Tom had passed away. What a bright young man and with so much potential. I met Tom when he was involved with local campaigns. He was such a leader. I will never forget him. I know also that he will be very missed by many people here in our community.

Tom was an exceptional person, a committed Democrat, and has had such a positive and lasting impact on so many people, including myself.
He represented the best that we can be and more. He was committed to his beliefs, was loyal, charismatic, inspiring, compassionate, and had an intuition and savvy that was well beyond his years or mine.
Most of all he was my friend and I will miss him, his wit and the confidence and hope he gave me when I would get a glimpse of the nere do well grim that made you believe anything was possible.
I have been lucky to call Tom my friend and will do my best to do justice to the memory and lessons I have from him.
