Tom and Fred MacDonald up there together talking about their trains, covers and tracings. They were great buddies and the knowledge between them was beyond words. May you both rest in peace together.

Tom, I was sho hear ofocked and deeply saddened to learn of your death. You touched many lives during your stay here on Earth, including mine. I remember the railfan trips we were on together during the eighties. I found you most intelligent, a pleasure to talk with and a very sharp wit. I also admired your photographic skills. I pray that you will rest well with our maker and that, someday, we can catch up on things once again in the hereafter. Rest well, my friend. We miss you.

I had the privilege of knowing Tom through philately (stamp collecting) over the past 15 years. His positive attitude, quick wit and common sense were an inspiration.

Tom, I know I will see you in a better place sharing those railroad books from each other collections. I will miss the phone calls and the rail humor we shared about the trackside characters in northern Illinois.
Keep it on the rail

I first met Tom some forty years ago through membership in a railroad historical group. I was always impressed with his knowledge of the railroad industry and the wit with which he expressed his thoughts. I also knew he had interests away from railroading.
So, Tom, I guess it's "all aboard"...see you someday trackside "up yonder".

Tom, will be missed by all especially in the antique auto community. He many times showed our group slides of his many adventures. I will miss talking with him after our membership meetings. We all have many great memories of Tom
