Tom will be missed. He was a great and kind man. I grew up skiing with Steve and running around their old beautiful house in Salt Lake City. Some great memories.

Oh my!!! I feel very sad hearing this news of Tom's death!! I helped Tom and John with the opening of the New Yorker Club. I believe I was one of the first Wait Staff to be hired. I worked with Tom at The New Yorker all through my college days and years at the UofU. Tom was like a father to me!! I loved Tom Sieg!! He always treated me with respect, kindness and encouragement for my own success in college and in life!!! Tom was a fine gentleman and role model. He was a man of integrity and vision. Hello to Steve and Eric!! I loved your dad!!! His memory will always be with me and inspire me to be a better man!! Please say hello in email. With this news I have reflected on all those incredible times we all shared in the early days of the New Yorker Club!! Some of the best times in my life!! Thank you Tom Sieg for the memories and sharing the New Yorker Club experience with me and our New Yorker family!!!
Sincerely,
Dave Moss

I did not know Tom as well as the rest of the Gastronomy's founders but my interaction with him was always cordial and very friendly. I was a associate of his along with Tom and Johns for 15 years before leaving. I know the loss of my former employers (Family) with mutilple losses in the last 10 years and hope for peace for Tom's Sons and family. I always enjoyed going to his home to assist in his entertainment of guests as well as interacting with his sons during these. I know the family mourns along with his business parters in his passing. I know all of Salt Lake will miss his presence which says a lot about the man and I know that John and Tom will continue what the three of them have built. May the family know that he is in a better place and that the health he was missing in these last years if finally beside him and that he can finally rest in peace.

All,
I worked for Tom at one of his restaurants, and always appreciated his kindness and generosity, and we became good friends. He even opened up his fabulous home as a reception venue when I got married, and it was a fantastic event. I've never met a man as giving as he, and I will miss him very much. We would all do well to learn from his example, and strive to make other people as happy as he did. Thanks Tom.

It was such a shock to learn of Tom's passing.
He lived life to the fullest and died doing what he loved.
Our thoughts and prayers to Steve, & Eric, and Melissa and we wish you the best.
We wished we could have been with you for the celebration but we hope you will understand.

Dear Melissa, Eric and Steven,
We mourn the loss of Tom. He was a most wonderful and generous man and we were always disapponted if he wasn't there at the bar when we dined at the New Yorker.
He was a man of pure class and style! We got more than our share of Olympic pins from him, and we had fun adding to his collection of apples when we spotted a unique one. He was in our thoughts a lot!!!
We will miss him. Much love to you all!

Erik, Melissa & Steve...
Losing a parent is one of the hardest things we face in life. In hearing about Tom's passing, I thought about losing my own father and was drawn back in time when things now seemed much less complicated and problems appeared so much easier to overcome. In looking back, I have so many great memories of the times I spent at Tom's house, not to mention all the countless "raids" we made on the New Yorker Club over the years. Tom was always the consummate host both at home and at the club, and put up with things that any normal dad would have drawn and quartered their kids (and their friends) for! I also have great memories of camping out in the front room at Melissa's in Seattle with Erik and all our friends on an impromptu road trip we all took one year. You were always made to feel welcome at their homes and were treated like one of the family whenever you were there. I feel very privileged to have been able to know all of the family and many of their friends that were often enjoying the Sieg’s hospitality. I offer my sincere thanks for all the wonderful friendship you have shown me over the years, and look forward to keeping in touch and creating even more great memories in the future. Our love and thoughts are with you - may God be with you now and always, and bring you and your family all the best life has to offer!

Tom was a dear friend and neighbor to my fabulous Aunt Alice(Jensen). When I was in SLC, she and I would always dine at the New Yorker and Tom was always the most wonderful fun. An era has passed...

I was very saddened to hear such unfortunate news this week. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family, specifically his boys. I wish I had more chances to see or speak to Tom over the past 5 years. All the best from me and my family.

Dear Melissa, Steve and Eric, I am so saddened to hear of Tom's death. Bridget called me this morning to tell me because I don't read the paper. My heart is very, very sad for him and all of you. I realized he had been sick, recovered and sick again but I did not know how sick he was. My heartfelt wishes to all of you. Tom was a very good man and will be sorely missed by all. I am so sorry.

Dear Sieg Family,
Sorry about Mr. Sieg's passing.
He was my landlord at the house on Main Street when I lived in the mother-in-law downstairs. He'd call me at least once or twice a month to make sure everything was all right. No other landlord has ever done that for me. He was very nice and kind to me, and I really appreciated that alot.
My condolences,
Ronalee
