Thomas Earle Foster

Sorry to hear of Tom´s passing. He would reach out to me, a small town newspaperman, every once in a while looking for silly things like potatoes that looked like people. He eventually got me tickets, shortly after Dave announced his retirement, and my wife and I were treated like long lost rich relatives upon our arrival at the Ed Sullivan Theater. I wish I could have known hime better and longer. True class act.

Tom-o-Rama. Me again, your old pal Suz. I didn´t need an email to remind me of this day, but email I did receive! I hope the Great Beyond is treating you well, cause believe it or not, it´s gotten even more bonkers Earth-side! Miss you and your one-of-a-kind quips and personality.

Tom, I´m still thinking of you very often and smirk/smiling when I think of the (no need to pardon the pun) Tomfoolery we collaborated in way back in the day. You´d be proud of the work Sara continues to do and will do (she is such a talent and truly kind...but you know that!) As the wise ones say: Memory Eternal.

Remembering Tom now and all the time--so many reminders of this hilarious, generous, and timeless soul. Also thinking of his Sara, who I've been lucky to get to know better and reminisce about Tom with. You are missed, friend, but your spirit lives on in our lives.

May Tom be remembered for his sweet demeanor, his great talents and his bravery and wisdom. He accomplished much in his life. A life with so much more to give, cut tragically short. But he, and his love Sara, are profiles in courage and grace, and an inspiration to those who know the journey they took.

In all of our years together at "Late Show", Tom was the constant: always smiling, always up, always friendly, always allowing me - all of us - to share in his positivity. What a talented, good and giving person. He will
be sorely missed and long remembered.

Tom showed such bravery in his fight to hold onto the life that he truly loved. He died much too young and will be missed by all who knew him.

When youre really lucky, you get to know a person who is a combination of kind, generous, endlessly witty, humble, talented, and a true friend. Tom was this and more.

I interned with Tom in the Talent Department at the Late Show, where we performed intern-y tasks from fetching Starbucks for the executives (Tom was nice enough to pass that task to me, since he knew how much I loved a free overpriced latte), compiled morning reports which were seldom read, and he and 3 others got...
