I just found out about Thom yesterday, I was so upset when I heard the terrible news. The first thing I thought was my dear Karen God be with her. We had alot of good times together the four of us out in the boat, work camping trip. Thom was always such a joy to be around, he would keep you laughing, and always had a story to tell. My heart goes out to you and your family, and I will keep you in my prayers. Call we if you would like to talk. Love you Janet and Mike Titus

Karen and family, Just returned home after the wonderful time at the winery. What a great tribute to Thom and what a beautiful setting, He had many friends. We enjoyed our times with the two of you at John and Judy's.So sorry for your lose. Deanna Tvedt and Glenn Hinsz

Michael was a childhood friend with Thom and always recollects with stories of how they "almost" got into trouble, boating on the river and joining the National Guard together. As fellow businessmen they had opportunities to work together also. I met Thom in his later years and he always had a funny story or joke to tell, humor followed him where ever he went.

Karen and Family~
Thom always stood out in a crowd! He enjoyed life and happily shared it with many others. Thom was also a best buddy of my brother, John Callahan... close friends since childhood!
Thom will be missed!

To the Smith Family our deepest simpathy goes out to you and your family on the lost of Thom.
We lived on a dairy farm as a youngster Thom,s Dad built Bills Villa
it made my path easier to walk. I use to have to walk on a plowed dirt field to get to Grannys for a ham & egg sandwich or a granny burger,those were my two favorite things to eat their. As I got older
and got into high school Thom had a silver corvette that he wanted to sell and I wanted so much but my brother Jim...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I was lucky enough to work for Thom as a young man in Rio Vista. It was a great summer; paving drive ways and watching Thom work his gift of gab. He was a nice person and boss.
His family will be in my prayers.
