Thomas Robert Laurie

Tom left us way too early, but he left indelible memories nonetheless. What a guy, what a man, what a friend.

What a pleasure it was for us to meet Tom and enjoy his inn. It was awesome. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you who will miss his presence.

Tom was an excellent friend to Lisa and me. He helped us adjust to the Central Coast when we moved here 12 years ago from Chicago. His surf lessons were "short"... seemed to always want to surf himself. :-). I enjoyed our golf outings and appreciated all of his help with handy man projects. Really going to miss him, especially when I hit that first tee shot on the golf course.

Knew Tom since 1983. Tom was a great guy and smart too. My condolences to Val and his family. He is now surfing and hiking in the greatest place.

Tom was cool guy. So saddened by his passiing. I loved his way with words. We had a 20 year running joke about the skylights he put in my home. "Are they leaking yet?" Im really going to miss him.

Tom was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. My deepest condolences to Val and his family. That said, Tom lived life to the fullest, so I believe he would want us to celebrate his life and not be blue. He will be sorely missed but not forgotten.

Tom was a master craftsman and such an amazingly smart guy...like others have mentioned...I see his work on my home every day. God bless his children and Val during this most difficult time...I am sure he will be truly missed.

Val, you and your family are in our hearts and thoughts. Adnan greatly enjoyed talking to Tom about the Palestinian situation and world politics in general, as well as their shared love of wood working. We will greatly miss Tom.

I was saddened to read about Tom. He was a great guy. Hope he is getting some much needed ocean time.
