Tom was a good friend. I worked for him for around a year, and we quickly became friends. He shared his knowledge of the oil field freely, and was genuinely concerned about my advancement in the industry. Though I only worked with him a short time, we remained friends and spoke often over the last 12 years. Over the years, Tom met my wife and both of my children. He always made a point to ask how my family was doing when we talked. I will miss the great conversations, and many good laughs that we've had over the years. He was a very honest and genuine person, and I'm certain that he will by greatly missed by many people. I feel honored to have been his friend. We offer our most sincere condolences to his family and friends.

So sad we lost touch many years ago as he once was a great friend and I suddenly realize I missed knowing him these past adult years and regret his passing before I got around to seeing him again. Toms laugh was infectious and his kindness and gentleness of his soul was unsurpassed. We had so much fun growing up together and I will never forget him. Tricia O'Connor
