Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Tom, We were family for many years, as I was married to Alfred, his brother. I babysat his kids when they were little, and have stayed in contact with several members of the family, usually seeing Tom about once a year. Tom was a good man, he served our country, he served his towns, he was a always helping someone or something. His smile was sincere. Back in the early 70's, Friday nights he used to ride along with Floyd Louie, our local Burlington...

My sincere condolences to Jennifer, Amy, and Family. I hadn't seen Tom in years but got to enjoy camping trips and many other get togethers as a kid with our families back in the 80's. I really looked up to Tom as a young man and that did not diminish as I have gotten older. Most of all, he was a great friend to my dad and I will be forever grateful for that. He will be missed.

Tom was a community stalwart. I met him at the scene of a huge mudslide off Cascade River Road while working for the SVH. I believe he was in charge of the emergency services department with the county at the time. Over the years he always treated me and other newspaper staff professionally and with kindness. I ran into Tom a few years ago while walking my dog along Bow Hill Road. He had finished helping a neighbor with a project. A short greeting turned into a wonderful conversation. It was...

Working with Tom was a pleasure, you always know where you stood and that he said he could get it done, it would be done,

Tom was a great neighbor, generous friend and great boss. He'll be missed by everyone who knew him.

Tom was one of a kind and his service-centered heart will be missed in our community. We will always remember his sense of humor and the twinkle in his eye when he was on a mission. Our deepest condolences to his family.

Tom was an amazing person! His kindness, leadership and humor among many attributes will be missed by many. As his classmates we are proud to have called him a friend.

The new year got off to a not so great start, with the loss of a great friend and cousin Tom Sheahan. He was always there to help others.
He asked me to meet he, and his friends for coffee several times, the 1st time was at Haggens coffee shop at 6 AM ( to early for me).
later on at the Edison Cafe at 7 AM, sadly I only made it once.
He would stop by often for no reason or another just to say hi, and see if I needed help with any thing.
When my Uncle passed away he...

Judy, Jennifer, and Sheahan family our hearts break for you all during this very difficult time. We are so incredibly sorry for your loss, and share in your sadness. Tom was a good friend for many years, and a loyal coffee shop Buddy. True to his giving nature he always tried to step up to help those in need, and he did so for us on several occasions too. Our Valley will not be the same without him in it. His kindness and spirit will be remembered and greatly missed by all those lucky enough...
