Tom was not only a great brother-in-law but also a wonderful friend.
Memories of Saturday night poker games, Hamm's beer, and reptiles will be with me forever!
Tom was kind, patient, helpful, polite, and intellectual but his strong point (for me) was his goofiness and mischief.
He was well-liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance and well-loved by his family and friends.
I miss him already!
P.S. Great (and accurate) obit.

I really enjoyed working with Tom. He would explain in great detail what was wrong and how he had to fix it. Truly a wonderful guy. I will miss him and our talks. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I loved him as a Brother-in-Law, and continued to care and respect him as the years passed. He was a kind and generous man, who loved his family so much. He will be sorely missed by all the people whose lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his friends and family.

This was a such beautifully written obituary (and more special & unique than any other I've ever seen)! I think Tom would have loved it - well done, family! I wish we could be there in person to hug you, support you, and ease your pain. Please know we are thinking of you and we miss you all dearly. Sending so much love and many hugs from VT. Love you all - Kendra, Jon, Cooper, & Drew ❤
