Not sure what to say?

Dear Mary and family ~ I am shocked and sadden to learn Tom had been battling cancer, deeply sadden to learn of his passing. I met Tom in the late 70's through Ryan. Such a character, I liked him from moment one. That's the kind of person he was. He made a great 1st impression. What a sense of humor! I have fond memories of "doubled-over-with-laughter" from his many stories and quick wit. Throughout the years, intermittently connecting with you all together with Tom are also memorable...

I knew Tom well for two years in college....I was the soundman for the Woodpecker Clan...many times i adjusted his voice on the mikes so the audience could better appreciate his vocals. He, along with our mutual good buddy and fellow band member, John Swanberg, will be greatly missed.

T-bone was a great neighbor! Our condolences to the family and friends who will miss him dearly.
