I miss Tom with my whole heart and soul. He was the most talented person I ever knew...his ability to quickly "surmise and apply" was outstanding.
He was kind to everyone and had a sense of humor that was unsurpassed. People could count on him to decipher the real truth out of situations. He loved people.
Tom even appeared to me after he passed away, and my sister was present to see his message on my phone...."Tom is calling...Tom is calling"

You were the love of my life...my best friend. I miss you terribly and think about you daily...you had great courage and stamina. You were multi-talented and highly intelligent.

You were always ready to help anyone in need. I love you so much. Every day is a struggle and nothing will ever be the same again.

Chloe missed you a lot...she had tears on her face when she realized you were not to be with us again..

Thank you for appearing on my cell phone....

Help me to have a lot more courage...like you had,, Tom

Wonderful traveling with you through life, Tom. I am still in a great deal of shock.

Memories of the Caribbean (St. Lucia, Punta Cana, U.S. Virgin Islands, Yucatan Peninsula/Mexico, and Costa Rica...zip-lining!!!)

Alaska and the mighty rivers, wildlife, Mt. Redoubt, Denali, glaciars and the 'Clowns of Alaskan Waters' (sea otters).

All trips, big and small, were fantastic with you. I feel your warmth and love through the thin veil of life that separates us for the time being.

"May the Stars of Midnight guide you and be dear to you..."

Always Forever, my best buddy and love of my life!

"Babs"

My heart aches.. love you always Tom. Things that bind us..never to be severed..or taking away. The conversations and the laughter. ...Will take care of Barbara for you. She stuck with with me for life. Loved your laugh and your wit. Will remember the practical jokes you played on me. My heart aches. The memories are long and many. Will share your memory with Barbara often as possible. Grateful to have known you in my life. Janet L. Fox ex your sister in law.. but always your friend. I will remember you in the wilderness and toast to you often. You have touched many lives. Will not forget the day of your wedding to Barbara and doing the flowers for you both as a couple, was a joy. My heart aches..but my heart rejoices in your life and love of Barbara. Peace..so much peace.
