Not sure what to say?

We knew Tom for 26 years as old neighbors. When our pathes crossed he was always like old times. Tom is such a nice person, always there for others. He will be missed by many!

I will best remember Tom for his ready smile, his eager handshake, and his willingness to help anyone that was a friend of his.

I will miss our cigars, our golf games, but most of all our conversations.

Rest well Tommy

I knew Tom when we worked together at Intel in the 1990s. I well recall his congenial and upbeat personality. I'm sure he went on to spread his sunshine in many places, but he left us too soon.

Known but a short time, loved and admired for a long time.

I've known Tom since he and I moved into the same neighborhood back in 1984. Tom was one of the funniest full-of-life people I've ever met.Though I haven't seen him for some time, he was always a good friend and a terrific person to have a beer with. I have very fond memories of him and his family. I will miss him very much.

Tomorrow is Thursday or as Tom would tell me...our "prefunction" date night. Tom and I had a standing Friday night "date" during the past few months. My fondest memories will be of our "dates" and the fun and laughter we shared with others. I so looked forward to the Friday night "dates" with Tom and Margi. Good times, good memories...forever. Thank you and your family for letting me help during the darkest times. I will love and remember you forever and a day. Love, Lee

Growing up Tom was like a second father...a much louder and hilarious one. I'll always have the memories of working at Tommy Toy's, hanging in his oh so cool office with Mandy and seeing his smiling face on the basketball court and softball field. Tom you were the only one who was allowed on my pitching mound...and you always knew how to make me laugh and calm me down so I could pitch a better game. You are so special to my family and you will forever be missed!

You always knew when Tom was in the room because it would be filled with laughter. I will miss being picked up from the airport by Tom in the blue VW van that had a stocked refrigerator! As a friend of Matt and Josh in college, we would make trips up to Portland and in a split second and without ANY hesitation, Tom would be hanging out with all the guys. Awesome memories, you will be missed buddy.
