Tom was a kindred spirit for me. I can't believe it has been three years since he left. i have fond memories of playing guitars with him and enjoying his (and Jo's) kind hospitality. Gone but never forgotten.

To our beautiful friend Tom.
We did not need to exchange very long before we knew we were blessed!
Blessed with a unique,kind, loving MAN.
The kind that doesn't say much but yet every word precious.
Always kind words for everyone.
His passion for music was contagious, my friend Joe learned to play the piano, I am sure He was very proud of her.(he loved her so dearly) and I admired that.
Some of our best memories are in Maine where we would meet ounce a year. He always made...

Mon premier contact avec Tom à été le timbre de sa voix au téléphone ma Jojo voulait absolument que je lui parle , elle en était tellement fière et amoureuse.... le rythme de cette voix était calme lente grave et j'ai su qui était Tom . Il à fait vibrer tout mon être, cette douceur franche , un coeur ouvert, un regard qui disait tout et pardonnait tout. Un grand privilège pour moi d'avoir connu cet homme qui manque déjà à beaucoup de personne , Tom dont worry about your love . LOVE YOU SO...
