Not sure what to say?

We are so saddened to hear of Tom's passing though we know he is at peace. Tom was very much a fixture of our lives as we so looked forward to and enjoyed the Greenshow before each Idaho Shakespeare play! He and Joe were absolutely amazing--next level entertainment. He touched thousands of lives to be sure, not only at ISF but we understand he was a teacher who impaced lives there as well. We send our deepest condolences to his family. We will miss him greatly.

I remember Tom as an absolute sweetheart of a young man and immensely talented. I enjoyed every minute in his company and watching him work. My sincerest condolences to all who loved this wonderful guy. I´m so sad.

His life benefitted so many in the valley including our family. Thank you for sharing his talents.

Mr. Willmorth was the best drama teacher. He encouraged me to compete and cheered me on all throughout high school. It meant so much. His velociraptor impression was the best, and his daily "Death by _______" routines in class were hilarious. He was caring, creative and sincere. I´m forever grateful to have known him and learned from him. My heartfelt condolences and prayers for his family.

My drama teacher from Capital High School who we all had such an immense bond with, Mr. Tom. This hurts. Ill never forget running into him in the halls of my school and being star struck because I knew him from the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and was a huge fan of his work. I said "omg Tom Willmorth what are you doing here?!" He replied "I´m the drama teacher!" And I said "why am I not in drama?" I was sure to remedy that the following year and it was my absolute favorite hour a day every day....

Tom was a friend, a challenger, but above all else, a singularity. Talent beyond measure, and as for the rest of him, beyond measure.
