I will greatly miss my Uncle Tom. I clearly remember him in his uniform from vietnam. I also remember when he gave us the album (yes they were vinyl then) of The Concert for Bangledesh. Pam, Jackie and I would listen to it over and over again. As an adult, I always cherished his kind heart and fun spirit. He was a very talented artist and a pillar of the Dayton community. God bless Uncle Tom.

I am so sorry to have lost touch. I have some of his beautiful glass work and adore it. I also considered him a dear friend. Due to my illness I have lost touch with some friend's, him being one of them. I will always cherish the time I spent with him. Rest in peace Tom. You will be missed by many.
