Not sure what to say?

Hugs to Ruth (Hootch) and condolences to the family I never met, but can only imagine the loss of his departure. God be with you, each and all.

Farewell to another "rodent" from the famed group "Rat and the Rodents", to one of the Bachelors and Loafers that formed the alternates to the Spinsters and Sneakers those summers at Druekes' in our youth. The world feels strangely different with your departure... "Say hello with a smile" to our other classmates you see on the other side. We remaining earthlings remember you fondly and thank you for being our friend

Bonnie and Family,

We will truly miss seeing Tom at family functions. Such a sweet, sincere and devoted person. It has always been so obvious to us how close you are as a family- so dedicated to each other and appreciative of each individual's interests and talents.
We are sad and thinking of you all.

Bonnie and family,
My condolences on the death of your husband and father.

I am sorry to say that I lost contact with "the Jopper" over the years, but I do have fond memories from our (somewhat mis-spent) youths.

Wallingford will sadly be missing another long time resident! Sending our prayers to all of you, from the Madsen family.

To Tom's familythose few fascinating years, which seem so long ago, we shared as adventurers in our coming of age at Central High and then were quickly pushed aside with the reality of life's challenges and rewards gave rise to the question: do those friends I knew remember me? Yes, we still didthrough all too few fleeting encounters - and that sentiment remains..

My deepest sympathy to Tom's family. He was a wonderful high school friend. Many of his CHS friends were touched by his kindness over the years. Rest in peace, Tom!

This was truly a loyal man- he still loved the Lions!
