Not sure what to say?

He was my best friend since I was 3. !!! His mom let me read the dictionary while he studied for the spelling be !!! I still love to do that. In fact, in the game words with friends, I look up the dictionary all the time, especially when I make up a word, but it´s a real word. !!

Again, I can not find my way without you. I'm sorry that I have not been the person that you wanted me to be, but I am trying. I miss you old friend. Thanks for everything.

I still miss Tom a great deal !!! he helped me so much when my brother passed away, and my mother passed away before that. And then a friend passed away that I had gone to church with for a long time and he let me stay at his place. He will always be my longest friends since we met each other when we were three. Often wonder how Meredith and her sister is doing now. And their families.

What a wonderful friend he was. I think of him often. And his wonderful family also. I still miss him. And know he is with with his beloved Jean. Love always, Beth Holland

Somehow, I missed that Tom had passed. I worked with him for three years in the early 90s. We both shared a love for succinct, but persuasive writing and baseball. It was a pleasure to work with him. Peace to his family.

I worked with Tom a few times on volunteer projects, political efforts, and the like. He was always passionately devoted to using his talents to improve society. I was shocked to hear of his passing. I've said a prayer for him and the family who mourn his loss.
