Not sure what to say?

Louise and Family, We were sorry of Tom's passiing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Blessings, Carl and Judy Fink

Tom was an excellent example of what a real man should be.... As a sales representative selling packaging and food processing equipment, he was competitor of mine .... But always friends. Today, I was in a bakery coffee shop in Pacific Grove....there was a man in front of me who looked like Tom..... I said ..." I know you... you are Tom Gooding"!... The man said no, and announced his name. So... as I was having my coffee, I picked up my phone and "googled " Tom Gooding... only to see he...

Condolences to the Gooding family on their loss. Although I did not now Tom well I was a friend of his wife, Louise, for many years. I know he will be sorely missed!

Condolences from myself, and my family, on the loss his family is facing. Tom and I first got to know one another sharing office space on Hutchins St ,then later on the pool deck as our boys played water polo for LHS! I never saw him without a smile! He was a very sociable and intelligent man! He once gave me the use of a condo in Capitola, for a whole week, free, to take my kids to the beach!! He was very generous and his friendship will be missed!

We were sorry to hear of Tom´s passing and had hoped to attend his celebration of life. However, Ken was admitted unexpectedly to the hospital for a pacemaker this week. Tom was a great neighbor and friend. We always enjoyed both him and Louise and knew them for around 50 years. Rest in peace, Tom.

Tom, I am so thankful for having you as a father in law. Your kindness and generosity will always be with me. Thank you for all your stories..I'm so glad to have such wonderful memories of a wonderful man

Tom was such a sweet man.. I came to know him as my sister´s father n law.. he was always so welcoming, generous, and just had a great sense of humor.. May you rest in peace Tom..

Got you know Tom because of Y Indian Guides. He was a great guy and we had some wonderful times with our sons in the Y Indian Guides program. My condolences to the family. Lowell Flemmer

Tom and I attended UC Davis. He was always happy to see me at yard sales, one of his favorite pastimes. Condolences to his family.
