I'm so sorry to hear about Tom's passing. My condolences to you all. I'm saddened because I had no idea until today. What a great guy he was and a great former co-worker. I know it is a tremendous loss but truly Heaven's gain. I will keep you in my prayers.

Tommy, I was so lucky to have been a friend of yours and when I look at all the laughs we had together the tears dry and a smile crosses my face. Put in a good word for me up there and save me a stool because I want to go where the Fox's are. Thanks for the memories !!!

I've known Tom for many years, from our golf league at Glen Oaks, to his always taking care of my electrical needs at O-Cel-O sponge. Had lunch with him many times, and enjoyed his wonderful company. He was a very good person, and a lot of fun. I'll miss him dearly. My sincere condolences to his family, you are in my prayers.

Jack, Kathy, and Family,

My condolences and heart felt sympathies for your loss. Tommy will be
missed. His smile was electric and his caring for his family and friends was a
blessing. I remember good times at Fox's A-GoGo in the sixties. A great place to have a beer and a great open faced steak sandwich on the charcoal
grill prepared in the middle of the bar.
Rest in peace and may God bless your family and friends in the Lords name
Jesus Christ our Lord and savior, Amen

To The Fox Family,
I cannot begin to express the shock and sadness I feel at hearing of Tom's death. I can't believe I just saw you Wednesday night at LeBros and had a marvelous opportunity to laugh (as you always did when around Tom), catch up a bit and hear the joyous news of the upcoming birth of a grandchild. Please find some comfort in the fact that many of your family were together that night and it was a happy time. My thoughts and prayers are with you today.
