Stunned by this news. I am so sorry for your loss, so unexpected. Tom and I worked together off and on over many years and, at work, he was a character. Tom was always upbeat, happy, and kind; he loved life and loved his family; he was great coworker and friend. You will be missed Becker, especially that infections laugh!

Tom was one of the first to welcome me to LOPC’s Beach Combers group making me feel welcome and comfortable. He has always been kind and accepting throughout the years we were friends. We have shared many recipes over the years. We had just emailed in July. He was very proud of his children and his fatherhood. My condolences to the family. Tom will be missed and remembered.

To Tom's family and friends: I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I have known him for many years. We both were very active in the singles program of the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church in both Shipmates and Beach Combers. He was such a sweet person and I will miss him a lot. He will not be forgotten.
