Not sure what to say?

Tommy was my cousin and he was always giving, happy, and was always in attendance when possible for family get togethers, etc. He will be missed by all his family. This is not the end but the beginning of everlasting life with our Lord and family waiting for him. Just knowing he is healthy and happy and we will meet again in a much better place makes it a little easier to say goodbye for now. To his sister and brothers here on earth, "your extended family is here for you during your time...

I was lucky to get to know Tom when I arrived as the new WCM in Memphis in 2014. He was a great friend, a great scientist, and a greater man.

Tom was a great SOO in Glasgow and one of my best managers. I will miss him dearly. Stephanie and I offer our heartfelt condolences to the Salem family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
