Not sure what to say?

My heart is saddened, I always thought that I would see Tom and Joane again. I remember the fun we had together; playing bridge, having meals together, living in there home when they were in Arizona. Well, Tom I miss.

I started missing Tom the day he retired from the Attorney General's Office. For several years he returned to Spokane briefly when we'd have lunch at the Spokane Club. He was a founding member of the AGO Academy where he acted, wrote scripts, and taught new attorneys how to effectively represent the state. His humor was irreplaceable. Best wishes to the whole family from Larry and Kathy Briney.

Trilogy Bridge Club and I lost a gifted player and partner in Tom. Aside from bridge, his intellect, humanity, and mental agility made him a truly valued friend.

God broke the mold with Tom. We worked together at the Attorney General's office for decades and he always made me laugh. Tom was a an acting star and helped create the AG Academy, our "3 day boot camp", through which all new Attorney hires must pass. It was education theater as the whole academy was scripted. Never have I had so much fun at the office! His entire family should know that Tom is in heaven challenging the status quo. May he rest in peace.

Tom was a good friend and bridge partner - I miss his insight, humanity, and fellowship greatly.

Tom, you were a treasure and a talent. A wonderful selfless companion in high school,college,and law school. No doubt your immediate family will share many of your attributes. Godspeed.,Tom Connolly
