Thomas Ford Lytle

It is with gratitude I remember you again today. May your continued rest in peace give comfort to those who remember and love you still. Kiki

Tom was very kind and welcoming man to me when I arrived in California 6 yrs ago. He used to whisper this funny beautiful bird noise "KooKooARoo" whenever I got close. I witnessed true loving strength when I first watched this incredible man grieve the loss of a dear young person in his life...and again when he so lovingly and reverently shared the sorrow of his wife's passing. He was a beautiful teacher, with a quick wit and a wide open heart. He taught with kindness and corrected with...

Ann,
Your Dad and I remained in close contact and collaboration throughout our law careers and shared many experiences in maritime and railroad cases. He was a terrific trial lawyer and a loyal friend always. I truly will miss him.

I am sorry for your loss, our loss. Tom was one of the kindest, gentlest, funniest men I've met. I will miss him always

I knew Tom for a short 5 years. We had the California Maritime Academy as a common interest. He formed a loose knit group of fellow alumni and named it the Cosmic Chowder Society. We met 4 times a year for lunch and sea stories. He was a good friend and wonderful, giving person. He will be missed!

Ann: So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He and I had a lot of fun together, except at our annual Christmas Eve golf game with Dave Borges and John Cronick. We always seem to lose. He was a good man and I will miss him and his emails.

My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Your dad was my lawyer a very long time ago. He was a very kind and friendly man. We reacquainted several years ago when I worked at the State Capitol. May he rest in peace.
