Not sure what to say?

I briefly worked with Tom at AlphaGraphics, learning that he knew my grandmother (Rosemary Henderson). We bonded over music and some of the employees at AG went to see him play. I will always remember the pep in his step, the music in his heart and his overwhelming kindness. My deepest condolences to his family.

I was so deeply saddened to hear about Mr. Patrick. He was a true inspiration to me throughout my four years in Choir at Palo Verde. He didn't just teach us how to sing; he taught us how to find our voices. His passion for music and his dedication to his students will never be forgotten. You will be greatly missed, but your song lives on in all of us.

We went to Tom's memorial service, can anyone tell us the name of the song and artist that was played first during the pictures of Tom were presented?

I was a friend of Stephen´s in college and would come by the house and hear the sounds of drumming. I remember Thomas being full of joy and energy. My deepest condolences.

He was my principal in 1985. When I graduated I have a picture of him holding my diploma, taking a picture of me.

Mr Patrick was an amazing principal at Rincon. I feel very honored to have known him. I enjoyed seeing him at church too. Such a nice man. RIP Mr Patrick. We love you

"Mr. Patrick" (Tom) had such an incredible impact on my life during my 4 years at Catalina High School in the 70's. He was the inspiration for me to pursue music in college, marry a choir director, and play in bands all my married life! Literally one of the kindest men I've ever met, his care and concern for others was over the top and his teaching skills were engaging and demanded excellence. I will never forget all of the great experiences I had in his choirs--, singing quality music,...

Tom was such a kind and talented man. I work as a teacher at Rincon and also years later as a banquet server at Tucson County Club. He was such an amazing drummer and also vocalist. He will be missed!

We sure are going to miss Tom. What a blessing it was to spend time with him and Sue. We'll always cherish those memories. Sue, we're here for you and we'll make some more good memories.
