Not sure what to say?

Tom accomplished some great things in his life, but i am most grateful to him for the wonderful children he raised - several of whom have been my dear friends. He was a really generous and lovely man and i know he's happy to be with Nancy now. my love to all the family.

Since I also originated from Chicago and Motorola we always had a lot to talk about. Tom enriched the lives of all those he met and knew – I'm glad I was one of them. My heart goes out to those he has left behind and for your sorrow in this difficult time. May God be with you all.

When I married Pat they opened up their beautiful home for our wedding reception. We want to extend our sincere sympathy to Tom Jr., Theresa, Pete, Pat and all the Quaid family. Now that Tom and Nancy are reunited in Heaven may they rest in peace as God holds them in the palm of his hand.

Tom & Nancy were former neighbors of mine in Scottsdale, as well as members of the same church I still belong to. For years, Nancy & I spent many pleasant hours walking & talking on the canal behind her house. Tom was never far away, and always very considerate of her needs. He once gave me an old computer monitor of his when mine broke, which I use to this day. Family was always of prime importance for both of them, and they loved the trips to see the kids and grandkids. May God bless Tom,...
