Not sure what to say?

Tobin was an old high school friend. Many nights out listening to music and having a few beers. He dated my best friend, Chris, and I have sent her his obituary. Sorry to hear we lost such a good Soul. All my love to his family, Tess O'Brien

My condolences to the family. I just learned of Tom's passing today when I received my Catholic Central H. S. Fall edition of "Inside CC" and saw his name in the "In Memoriam" section. We were in the same homeroom, and in Latin I class with Sister Rose Elizabeth (he sat behind me). He would struggle with Latin. I would slip him the answers when he asked for help. What the heck, it was high school! Besides, I could get away with things because I got all A's, my parents & I helped out the...

Salt of the earth. He was the smartest person in the room, 5 steps ahead of everyone & always empowered others with his guidance/kindness. It was a privilege to work with & learn from Tobin. He will be deeply missed. Our deepest condolences to the Tobin family. The McGinleys

Tom had a gentle spirit and a wry wit, he could speak volumes with a sly and knowing smile. Always a pleasure to work with or to just hang out, he will be greatly missed. Rest well Tom.

When I first started at Global Impact, Tom was the first person to make me feel welcomed. We had lovely music discussions which often ended with him bringing me mixed CDs full of his favorite music. He was generous of spirit and had a huge heart for the world. He is missed.

I knew Tom way back in our high school party days. He, Joe M & Doug P were known as "The Ovaleers" because of the street they all lived on and Greg W, Tom H and myself were called "The Syndicate". I think Tobey gave us those nicknames. Lot of fun times back then. Condolences to all the family. T.J.

Tom served as my boss at Global Impact. He was always a kind and gentle soul. Glad I was able to grab breakfast in Austin with him awhile back. Condolences to his family. What a tremendous life legacy!

I met Tom when he first moved to Austin. He was a special person, funny but serious about the right things. My condolences to his family and friends from Michigan and his family of friends in Austin.
