Not sure what to say?

Tom and I met on an airplane from Chicago to Pheonix in 1990.
I was in a leg cast and he ask me what happened. Turned out we were both heading to the Grateful Dead shows there. We became fast friends and stayed in touch many years. Sad to see the news. He was a special, talented and joyful man.

So sorry for your loss. Tom and I played football against each other in high school (New Trier Vs. Glenbrook North ) and became friends the summer after our senior year. I reconnected with him over the years. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.

Good shot of Tom Ramsdell playing bass in Smokin Fish. RIP.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest in peace.

Thinking of the family and wishing them comfort and peace

Having known Tom since he and our son, Eric, met in third grade, we will always remember the tremendous energy Tom brought to everything he did -- sports, music, academics, law practice, and life in general. Such people don't come along very often, and we will certainly miss him. Losing someone like Tom is not something you ever, really "get over".

Our sincere condolences to his family,
Nancy and Ethan
