Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear this. I was Tom´s booking agent for many years. Wonderful man with a great spirit & smile. I know he´s still biking up above!

My wife and I saw Tom perform his comedy in Key West at the La Concha hotel around Christmas 2004. He was very funny and also had a very cool story to tell about his travels around the country. I've been checking in on him once in a while online and was sad to see that he passed. The world is a better place for once having Tom in it.

I was camping out on the beach in Key West in 2004. I played pickup volleyball with Tom a few times a week for about 2 weeks. One day I lost my wallet and he gave me $10 right away. I was 19 and was blown away. I went back to key west last week and looked through my old photo album when I did. I found this page by trying to reach out to Tom. Of course it was not what I hoped to find but thought I'd share my story of his friendliness and generosity all the same. Thanks Tom. That $10 meant...

Remembering Tom, a warm, kind and very funny man! It was an honor to have known you!

Remembering Tom today!! Such a Wonderful guy! God Bless Him in Heaven!

I will remember Tom as a gentle soul. I did not know him long, but he touched my heart with his smile and his gentle manner. I hope his family will find peace in his memory as time moves on.

I used to love to see Tom at PVL when I would go see my Dad! We all used to play bingo together! Tom always had a smile on his face and he was always laughing! Love that guy! My deepest condolences to the Snyders Family! Many thoughts and prayers for you at this time!

Sorry to hear about your loss, Tom will be greatly missed by all. I will never forget all the good times we had wrestling at Ottawa high school and Illinois State University.

Heartfelt sympathy to your family with the loss of Tom.
