Not sure what to say?

I met Tom for the first time on the softball field during a BCBSNCA corporate softball league game. I had only been working at GHI for a couple of weeks. Every time I saw Tom after that game he treated me like I had known him for 20 years. I never forgot how friendly he was to me after just a short time of knowing him.

Love to you, Claire, and to your family. I didn't know Tom, but know he was dear to his family and friends and will be sorely missed.

"May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand."

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to Claire, Tom's family, and his many, many friends. I will never forget all of the good times we had playing softball at the "Battle of the Blues" and with the "Diehards". Tom was super competitive and "loved" to win - which he did often. He was a good friend and had such an infectious laugh and a great outlook on life. I will sorely miss him and will always be thankful that he considered me a friend. Rest In Peace Hawk!

we are so sorry to hear this awful news...Tom was a great guy and we thought highly of him...we will miss his smiling face at the Cardinals SpringTraining...rest in peace my friend...Ron & Lizzie Nixon

Hey, Claire. Bason sent me the news. Please accept my condolences. I will always remember Tom's competitiveness on the softball field (I remember other good stuff also, but the softball stuff most). Especially his pitching: he knew I liked pitches inside (so that I could try to pull the ball) - he NEVER threw me an inside pitch - NEVER. He had my number, he knew it and I knew it. Maybe that's a silly memory, but I can still see his little grin as he threw it outside.
Kiefers are all...

What do you say when you lose a best friend? I am sure whatever I say won't be enough.

My heartfelt condolences to Tom's family and friends.

I met Tom in the 70s. We were bitter rivals on softball teams (bitter is an understatement). At some point we merged the best players from our two teams and formed a team that Tom organized and managed. He was as competitive as anyone I have ever met. We were very good and won almost all of our games but Hawk, was not pleased...

I was so very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. There is so little that anyone can say to help ease the pain but, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. The memories of the wonderful life you had together will bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart. God Bless you and your family; I will keep you in my prayers.
