Thomas John Hughes

Tom was my husband and my landlord many years ago. He was very kind and gracious and always treated us with great respect. He was the best landlord we have had. He was a wonderful man. Rest peacefully Tom. God Bless you.

We know how much Tom loved wood. Have some of his beautiful bowls hanging on a special place on our wall. Planted a Meyer lemon tree in his memory. This spring it was full of wonderful blossoms and now bright green fruit. Think of Tom often. And, continue our discussions on wide ranging topics. Can just hear him telling me I am all wrong. Good friend.

Tom was my brother but I was 13 years younger than he so I didn't get to really KNOW him until I was married and had children. Tom was so fun to be around. He had his own language and expressed himself so uniquely. He was always so kind, sweet, caring, and interested in our life. We became instant friends so to speak and I am so sorry I didn't know him sooner than we did. Phone calls were a riot and so enjoyable. My boys have scientific, fun Tom etched into their hearts, memories and...

Tom was a Gem of a brother. I knew little of him growing up as I came along 13 years later. Got to know my brother as a married adult but what a treat that was. He was always kind, considerate, caring, interested in our life. All of my family will miss him terribly. My 2 boys bonded with him, loved and cherished him. Phone conversations were always laughable and exciting. His love will forever be in our hearts and memories. I dearly loved my brother!!

Jane and family know our prayers...

Dear Jane and Family, We have been blessed to know Tom all these years and will truly miss him at Woodcraft. We are prayin God's comfort for you during this difficult time.

Worked with Tom for many years at Pfizer/Specialty Minerals Technical Service supporting alkaline conversions the world over. Learned a ton from Tom. His great sense of humor, love of Jane, family, food and papermaking were legendary. What a great person. He'll be dearly missed. Thoughts and prayers to Jane and the family.

Dear Jane, and family, I want to express my sincere condolences on Tom's recent passing. I hadn't seen him in many years, but I remember him to have been a good guy. I hope you will be comforted by many memories of your lives together with him. Sincerely,

There are few people today that are so friendly, and as gracious as Tom. He was always willing to give advice and to teach you. I met Tom at woodcraft, and after several encounters and a thousand questions, he invited me to his house to make sure I would get it correct. He was generous with his time, knowledge, and any extra wood laying around. I will miss you. My friend.

The neighborhood will not be the same without Tom . We lost a very kind man. He always had a kind word and a big smile. The little kids loved him too. God bless. Pat Murphy
