Betty, do not know if previous message went through, but just learned of Tom passing. Could not of had a better room mate and friend at Lehigh. One of the highest things I can say Tom was one of the Good Guys. There are too few, Pat joins me from Montserrat, offering you and family, every good wish and our prYers, Lamar

Mr Applegate was such a presence in Bay Head. . I saw his smile at the store on our street and my favorite, on the beach for his evening laps. I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss we all feel, but none more than his wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all xoxo

So sorry to hear of your loss. I have so many fond memories of shopping at Applegates Hardware store growing up and seeing Tom ever present at the Club. His presence will be missed, but his spirit is always there. Peace and Grace

Betty Lou, Joyce and Chip, we just heard of Tom's passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. Tom was a pillar of the community and Applegate's Hardware store was such an important part of Bay Head's history.
We will be going out of town on the day of his service.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Joyce & Gary Thorgesen.
