Thomas A. Waud

I served as pastor of First Christian Church, Tillamook, from 1987-1998. During that time Tom and I worked together on many funeral and memorial services. I was always impressed by Tom's compassion for families and professionalism. Tom was also deeply committed to the community. We were Kiwanis members together, and even played "walleyball" together at the YMCA. We have all lost a great friend and colleague.

To the entire Waud Family, You all know how special Tom was, and while I have tremendously positive memories of him it wasn't until I read his obituary that I realized the extent of his accomplishments-wow! I feel very fortunate to have known Tom. From our very first meeting (I was then some kid from college that was dating a friends daughter), I remember his support to his family, encouraging us "young people" to take the boat out on a nice day and have fun. As the years went by and I...

I shared many parts of my young life with Tom. He was a good friend to me and I will miss him.

To the family of Tom Waud, my condolences. You have assisted us with our family losses and we so appreciate the caring services you have provided and continue to provide for Tillamook County residents. God's peace, Tom. Pax Vobiscum.

My sincere sympathies and prayers to the family. Tom was a kind and classy guy. Much love.

I had the privilege of working for Tom for six years, about 40 years ago. He became a mentor and friend. More recently, I enjoyed serving on the Hospital´s Governing Board with Tom. He was so proud of the excellent medical care that is provided to the community! I will remember Tom as a "prince of a man!" My condolences to Betty, Sharon, Mike, and Shannon.

So sorry to hear of Tom´s passing. He was such a kind caring man who will be missed. We were so fortunate to have him as a part of our community.

Remembering a caring family man who contributed so much to the Tillamook community and beyond! He will be remembered. RIP.
