Not sure what to say?

11 years mister.... we sure do miss you. Well, Sonny is with you now so he's happy! Mom is loving her work at GW - I know you get a big laugh out of that!! I'm doing the real estate thing now, oh how I wish you were here - I could sure use your unwavering encouragement and expertise! I just always stop and think - what would Tom do....

I worked for Tom and Shirley when I lived on Maui at the Boxcars converted into offices in Kahului. They both were the nicest two people I ever worked for. Tom was such a kind gentle soul and and Shirley was an awesome boss to me. They both treated me well and I left an impression on me.

Many times I think of Thomas it was a pleasure to be around.

Tom Corbin was a mentor and a positive man in my life. So glad I had a part in his care,and got to meet his wife Shirley and dog Sonny. It was a pleasure to be a part of his Life and to care for him.

My husband has a defibrillator. I just wanted to say thankyou. to Mr Corbin for helping to develope it and saving his life. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Tom Corbin was one of the most important men in modern medical history. THE EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR has saved millions of lives since he
invented and delivered it. I was lucky enough to have backed Tom with the very first venture capital investment of my career. He was a pleasure to deal with and a truly fine man.
With sincere sympathy to Tom's family.

Tom was my big brother. He loved music and could play his saxaphone. As I grew up he had moved on to go away to High School and College. When he lived in California our children got to know each other and we spent more time visiting.In these last years it has been hard to see Tom so restricted by his illness. Our family has been fortunate to have Shirley as his guardian angel. We will be ever grateful that he was able to stay in his home and cared for. Love Margaret

Although I did not know Tom well I do know that he was a wonderful man. Shirley will have lots of warm memories of her dear husband. I know that she and Sonny will miss Tom terribly.
