Not sure what to say?

Tom (and Kay too) have long had a treasured place in our hearts. Tom's friendship and support when we were graduate students living in Seattle was so emblematic of his generous personality. A sense of true friendship that was planted then has only grown through the years though career moves and geography has kept us at a distance. Distance though did not interrupt our connection with Tom and family, just as Tom's passing will not now dim the wonderful closeness we have so long felt ... and...

Tom was a star in so many ways. In the late 70's I was making a radical career change from finance to sales. When Human Resources walked me to his office he was on his way out of the building. We chatted in the hall for a few minutes and he hired me on the spot. He was an out of the box thinker who mentored countless AHS employees. His ability to get his team to see and believe that we were serving a higher purpose than ourselves enriched our careers and our lives. I haven't seen Tom in...

So sorry to hear of Tom´s passing. Such an accomplished person and you will miss him so much. Our blessings to you, Kay

So very sorry to hear about Tom. He was an integral part of the Sleepy Hollow neighborhood and social scene and a wonderful neighbor. A wonderful man living a great life! Over too soon...

Kay, I am so sorry to hear of Tom´s passing. There is a huge hole in humanity left by this man´s passing. Kay and I send our condolences to you and the family. He will be missed by thousands!

Our thoughts are with you, Kay and Tom and your family. Tom was a larger than life figure in our memories w/his wonderful sense of humor and wit, a great friend of Frank´s and we truly will miss him. We will celebrate his life as the stories we could tell would fill up this space 10 times over! We´ll hope he can rejoin a foursome in heaven with some dear friends and how we wish we could get the audio of that event!

My Uncle Tom always gave the best big bear hugs and loved his family with everything he had. My siblings and cousins and I would spend our childhood riding the golf cart around Black Diamond and we sure did wear our Uncle Tom out but he never said no to our "one more time!" requests. We miss you, UT!

I was saddened to learn of Tom´s passing, Kay. I lost Jim nine years ago and still miss him. I am sure you find pleasure in knowing how much Tom was liked in Seattle. You two were a wonderful couple to spend time with! God be with you all, Madge Williams

So very sorry for your loss, Kay. Miss you!
