Thomas Patrick Rowan

So many memories . . . Tom represented Gordon Farr and I during our various TV jobs and then he acted for both of us during our divorce! That's because he was so trustworthy and we wanted to keep it real. Later, my fine artist partner, Shingo Honda, gave baby Dan his first art. Shingo never forgot Marla and her chums performing "Going To The Chapel and We're Gonna Get Married" complete with hand movements which he copied to perfection. He loved Marla's take on pepper steak using our...

May Our Dear Lord sweep Tom up and take him into heaven with a grand welcome. Tom will sure put a smile on God´s and the angel´s faces. God bless Tom´s Family Ed K

Marla, Dan and Kat. My condolences for what is a great loss. Tom and I knew each other from our stint in the Army during the 70´s at Ft Sheridan, IL. We had fun times sailing on Lake Michigan and we´d hang out with the `beer for lunch bunch´ in later years we reconnected for periodic lunches. One of his favorites was the Caesar Salad at Vito´s in Santa Monica. He was one helluva guy, who never lost his humility, his sense of humor, or his devotion to others.

Tom was so much more than a friend and business associate. He was kind, caring and always a true partner in any project we endevoured. I will never forget how caring and loving it was for Tom to drive sixty miles in heavy July 4th traffic a few years back to attend the church services for my dear mother. He went out of his way to comfort me. Tom is someone who not only touched my life and career...he also touched my heart. May he now rest in the palm of God's hand until we meet again.

Dear Rowans.. So sorry to read this. It´s now being passed along to a lot more folks that had the great pleasure of knowing Tom. I worked for Ken Kragen from 1984-2002. Everyone there liked and admired him so much. Marla sent me her recipes every year along with pix of the kids. Tom made work at K & Co so smooth. Nice memories.
