Thomas S. Darling

I´m so sad to see this. I met Tom as a young craftsmen who over time became one of my favorite people to work with. This world is a lesser place without you, Tom.

I will miss Tom's nightly visits to the store dearly, his stories and jokes always made me laugh. I considered him a friend, not just a customer. May you win all the scratch offs in heaven. My thoughts and prayers to Lillian.

I first met Tom as a new co-worker, office help at the boatworks where he was a boatwright. And Tom always called me Mrs. Cook. One day I found a small "Kilroy Was Here" paper sign with familiar architectural lettering perched over the top of my computer monitor. "So hey Tom, who's Kilroy?" ... a fun introduction to a famous historical riddle.
Amazing concert recordings could sometimes be heard in the late afternoons from Tom's work area. Once in awhile he would take a break...
