Tom was a very special part of my life with great memories over the last fourteen years, from the first time I met him after his performance in "Jack and Jill" at the cast dinner party in 1995...our time together in Playback Columbus, being guests at the Governor's Ball (where a lobbyist told him he was "a very handsome man,") and we laughed over it, but it was true... working together on shoots...a pilot in Traffic!...those fun cold cold days and nights at Milo...his trips to Tampa Bay to see every show I was in...his cute and intricate surprises, kind words and quotes...eating at Italian restaurants where he could eat his Italian vegetarian food...his great panache and style...his love of fogettabowdit...patchouli...his great beat up old cars...his kind words for everyone...and great smile...I'm so appreciative for the times we spent together and thankful that I had the chance to talk to him not long ago and have a nice conversation--he didn't tell me he was ill. I can't believe he is gone, I am still in shock...much much too soon...he had so much more to give to the world with his talent, warm expressions and caring. My deepest condolences to his family. Tom, you will always be in my fondest thoughts.
Love always,
Francine

My Dearest Tom,

You were truly the “love of my life” and there isn't a day that goes by that I do not miss you and think of you… .God answered my prayers the day he sent you into my life. You were truly the best part of me and now all I feel incomplete without you. We were in love at first site and you said my love for you made you feel whole again….I knew together there wasn't anything we couldn't do and I was looking forward to spending eternity locked in your arm… I remember the first day we met and you said you when our eyes met, you knew we were soul-mates destined to be together and walk hand in hand until our fingers were old and wrinkled……..Thank you for your humor, your love of nature and mankind. But mostly, Thank you for giving me the greatest gift of all. Your unconditional Love!!! I will love you now and forever more. RIP My Beautiful Man!
(your Bella Mia) Susan xoxoxo

This message is to thank Tom for all of the special, fun, times. And for standing with me during the tough times. Enjoying everyday from the coffee in the morning until the last look at the sky at night. Together reading for the blind, walking German Village and having so much fun with our neighbors. And we worked together; successfully! Our relocation to Miami Beach was our big adventure; it was so challenging for me to leave my Columbus friends. But, you and I rode the waves. I have always 'missed' you. The service for you last night was a show of nature at it's finest. Thanks for your participation - especially as we went to the water's edge and tossed our flowers into the waves. The strong high tides waves caught us all off guard - thanks - we all needed to hear our voices laughing! All my love Tom. All my love.
