A true and faithful friend. Alex King

Dear Joanie and Family,

I am truly sadden for your family. I will really miss Tom. He always made me feel welcomed at Kenyon Hall. I think the most memorable and funnest experience there was when he showed me how the Wurlitzer, pipes and sound effects worked. I knew nothing about theater organs. His knowledge was incredible! I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Tom, Thanks for being a great friend at BHS. Even after these many years, you are missed. Condolences, Joani, to you and the family. Tom knew I had no musical skills but, as Penny said, we can all take comfort in the fact he must now be playing music in the Lord's Orchestra. Alex King

Tommy-It's been 50 years, but I will always remember the crick I had in my neck our whole senior year at BHS because I always had to look way, way up to see your face. I still have a recording of "Play That Klink Klink Jazz". My condolances to your family, but I know you are already playing some instrument in our Lord's orchestra. Blessings, Penny

Joani-I know I'm only one of many who want you to know how sorry we are for your loss. Tom will be greatly missed at the Museum, and Joani, the store is not the same without you. Please take care and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Joani--Brad and I met you at the Museum Store in downtown Seattle, a couple of Christmas's ago. We had a great conversation, and I especially enjoyed just listening to Tom's wonderful, rich voice. When I found out your connection to my family I was very glad to be able to meet two people who mean so much to my parents, especially my dad, Alex. We grieve with you, and with everyone who has known Tom. He gave much joy to my dad...you know that. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Joani- You know Florence and my thoughts without putting them down on paper. I'll miss my best friend, who, at the present time is eating chocolate cookies and drinking coffee with his Savior!
Alex

Tom,
You will be missed by all of us that worked with you in the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society. Thank you for what you contributed to us and "keep on playing"!
