Tom will be missed. He was a great and kind man. I grew up skiing with Steve and running around their old beautiful house in Salt Lake City. Some great memories.

Oh my!!! I feel very sad hearing this news of Tom's death!! I helped Tom and John with the opening of the New Yorker Club. I believe I was one of the first Wait Staff to be hired.

He always treated me with respect, kindness and encouragement for my own success in college and in life!!! Tom was a fine gentleman and role model. He was a man of...

I did not know Tom as well as the rest of the Gastronomy's founders but my interaction with him was always cordial and very friendly. I was a associate of his along with Tom and Johns for 15 years before leaving. I know the loss of my former employers (Family) with mutilple losses in the last 10 years and hope for peace for Tom's Sons and family. I always enjoyed going to his home to assist in his entertainment of guests as well as interacting with his sons during these. I know the family...

All,
I worked for Tom at one of his restaurants, and always appreciated his kindness and generosity, and we became good friends. He even opened up his fabulous home as a reception venue when I got married, and it was a fantastic event. I've never met a man as giving as he, and I will miss him very much. We would all do well to learn from his example, and strive to make other people as happy as he did. Thanks Tom.

It was such a shock to learn of Tom's passing.
He lived life to the fullest and died doing what he loved.
Our thoughts and prayers to Steve, & Eric, and Melissa and we wish you the best.
We wished we could have been with you for the celebration but we hope you will understand.

Dear Melissa, Eric and Steven,
We mourn the loss of Tom. He was a most wonderful and generous man and we were always disapponted if he wasn't there at the bar when we dined at the New Yorker.
He was a man of pure class and style! We got more than our share of Olympic pins from him, and we had fun adding to his collection of apples when we spotted a unique one. He was in our thoughts a lot!!!
We will miss him. Much love to you all!
