Not sure what to say?

Tom was a most gracious person. I worked with him during my time in Santa Fe and learned that he was generous, thoughtful and committed to making NM a better place. I will never forget when he framed a picture of me from CIO magazine and gave it to me as a gift. Needless to say, 20 years on I still have the picture and I still have Tom in my heart. May he rest in peace.

Tom was a good friend for over 35 yrs. His kindness & caring made so much difference in our world. He'll be missed.

Condolences to James and your family. Though I didn't know Tom I remember his distinctive voice when he was present in a room accompanied by that splendid smile. He contributed to New Mexico's history.
