Not sure what to say?

Tom was a dear friend and best man at our wedding in December of 1970. His unique sense of humor and brilliant mind, along with all the fun of years ago will remain with us. We are so happy to have seen him at an Air Force reunion last year. Many condolences to his family and friends.

May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time

Tom was my first love..I was 5 years old at the time. The Gwins were neighbors and our parents were good friends. I have always thought of Tom as secial. Next to Tom, Carolyn is the oldest (longtime) friend I have. Nancy is my husband's distant cousin. Seems we have kept close ties to each other.
Say hello to Boyd for me. RIP first love.

May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time

Tom and I attended Miss Sate for a short while and had the opportunity to become friends. In the last year or so we have communicated by telephone on a regular basis. We renewed our friendship with a lot of old times talk.Regretfully we never visited , just talked about seeing each other.
I am shocked with this loss and I wish prayers and thoughts to the family . God bless all .

You could always count on hearing that laugh when Nancy would do something crazy (or outrageous) like throwing a little gasoline on the fire in the fireplace to get get it going faster! I feel blessed to have spent time with Tom and hope that the memories from his many...
