my grampa was one of the people I ever knew

My heart broke to see that Tom passed on. I admired him very much. My husband Steve would play with Tom in elementary school, and in college both attended the same church and pursued Christ. Although they had lost contact, both men had degrees in education, were writers, loved sports, pushed their limits, and had funny and warm personalities. Some of it must have come from their childhoods, Steve died first and the two have had a great reunion. We miss them terribly but they do live eternally...

I am so sorry to hear this. He(Tom) the Golfing Gorilla, came to Spanaway Golf course and entertained our Junior golfers! My boys were there and I worked there at the time. A very memorable experience!
He amazed everyone. What a genuinely nice and kind man!
He will be greatly missed!

We have know this wonderful man for years. A gentle giant, so compassionate always with a smile. We express our deepest sympathy to his family.

He, Ken Still, Jack Walters, and Jeanne Walters are playing golf in heaven now...from Joyce Walters Tukwila

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together.
I'm blessed and honored to have known Tom this past year, to be a part of his life. I miss him dearly.

Loved watching Tom as the Golfing Gorilla at Seattle Golf events. Very entertaining act, he could hit the ball a long way. Fun to watch!
