Not sure what to say?

It deeply saddens me to learn of Tom's passing. His infectious laughter and wise advice were always appreciated. I will truly miss him.

The Manchester´s and Tiplady´s grew up in Ypsilanti together and Tom was one of my brother Dick´s (1940-2025) best friends. Tom was great man will be missed by all who knew him. God bless him and my he rest in peace Bob Tiplady

I will miss Tom very much. Im just thankful that he was in my life. We had great times together that I will never forget. He had helped me many times when I needed his help. Tom was always there. I will miss him. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Tom was my closest friend from the first grade. While we drifted apart physically, he was always in my heart. I loved him dearly. My regret is that I did not make contact more frequently. If you love someone, talk to them now. Do not put it off, or you may lose the opportunity.

We moved in to the neighborhood on October 7, 2016; little did we know how fortunate we were in choosing the house right next door to Tom and Mary. Early during the move-in Mary stepped into our backyard and introduced herself warmly. I would meet Tom the following day. Tom and Mary were/are the neighborhood (and Ypsilanti) historians, leaders within the neighborhood association and more importantly warm and trusted friends. We have shared many conversations, a few glasses of wine...

Our sincere condolences to the Manchester family. From the Lounsberry family, Todd, Jeff and their families

So sorry to hear that we have lost Tom. We met in school many years ago. He caddied for my dad at Washtenaw Country Club often and was one of my dad´s favorites. Condolences to his family. Prayers that he rests in peace.

Tom was a friend, golf partner, and provided me with legal services I always enjoyed our conversations and advice a wonderful family who shared his values especially his wife whose father was a friend and advisor to me

I spent a great deal of my childhood at the Manchester house and Tom was a huge influence on my life and the person and father I am today. He lived an admirable life and left a great legacy for his family and friends. I´ll always have great memories of Tom and his great family.
