Not sure what to say?

Dr Gus was our family Doctor untill he retired, I feel he saved our Daughter, when she was 7 years old, he assisted in the Surgery to remove one of her badly infected kidneys, she lived untill she was 37 years old and was killed by a very "inpaired" driver, what a tragic loss to our family and everybody else! Dr Gus was one of the first people to call us to offer his condolences. He was a great doctor and family friend, he also put our son's foot in a cast when broke it one time on his...

Alice,
Did not know of Tom's passing. So sorry to hear this. Interesting to read he was on the SS United States maiden crossing. Our family traveled to Le HArve on her 3rd trip across, and when I go back to Philadelphia, I see the old ship on the waterfront, waiting to be restored. We have many wonderful memories of our Woodland Park days. Remembering and praying for Tom, you and the family. Linde and Pete Eidenberg

Great guy! he touched many lives, I have many fond memory's of Tom. What a wonderful life.

So sorry to hear of Dr. Tom's passing. He was a wonderful friend to my parents, Bill and Elinor Howell, and a fine man.

Dear Alice and family, I am so sorry to hear of Toms passing. Our family has always been very fond of him and I know he will be greatly missed. I have so many wonderful memories of the my dad and Tom fishing, visiting your place at the beach and sharing time after church while I was growing up. If my memory serves me right he had a special fondness for pie which I think my grandma Andersen may have made him just a few...!

Alice and kids: I just heard today about Tom's passing, I am very saddened by the news. I have always had such fond memories of the trips to the beach house and holidays spent with all of you! I'm thinking of you and praying for all of you during this difficult time.

Tom will always be in our memories as a kind and gentle man. What a joy it was to share fishing stories and hear of his adventures. We will miss you dear man, thank you for blessing our lives.

Dr. Tom, It was an honor and a privilege to be your sole boat technician for the last 20 years, but most of all your friend, and sharing your wonderful family, and to my friend Eric, your dad will always hold a place in my heart. I will miss you Tom and all your fishing tales....true or not.

Dr. Gus was my doctor from birth to adulthood. For the first 6 or 7 years of my life we lived 4 or 5 houses down from the clinic. That was almost too handy. I got to know him from him fixing my ailments to me working on his air conditioning. He was a genuine stand up guy that I admired very much.He put many casts on my broken bones from motorcycles as a young kid and he always told me how dangerous they were. I always told him i thought boats were dangerous. We always laughed about that. My...
