Not sure what to say?

Fr. Tom, you saved my life. I will see you again, rest in heavenly peace. Rob.

Father Tom was a great man and proved to be a powerful influence on me in the relatively short time I knew him. I attended Neumann Prep the year before it closed and he was the head of the school. Sad to learn he passed so young. I shall remember him.

So many years later we still remembering Father Tom with great fondness. We were parishioners at St Margaret of Scotland in Morristown NJ and he served as pastor with love and kindness. He presided at our daughter Stephanie´s wedding 25 years ago this month! A wonderful priest and very special friend.

Msgr Tom, Thank you for your support, gudiance and comfort in troubled times. It was an honor and pleasure to Lector for you and play drums at your masses. You are a model of encouragement to us all. Thank you for being part of the St Andrew's Flight crew and may your final destination be all you hoped it would be. Peace be with you....now and forever. Amen.

'On for ole St Francis.......'

What a wonderful man. We will never forget your warm heart and wonderful sense of humor. We will always remember that Arizona is not our final destination.

What a wonderful priest. My heart is saddened with his passing. Heaven has received such a great gift. I, too, will miss his sense of humor. Fr. Tom, you are home now.

Thank you for flying the friendly sky's, at St. Andrew the Apostle
in Chandler. We are really go to miss you at the 7:00am mass

The intimate Community of the faithful at Our Lady of Guadalupe Benedictine Monastery in West Phoenix wishes to console Fr. Tom's family. He will be remembered as a Christ-like human being. As guest celebrant his sermons were always based on solid doctrine and applied to today's reality. We ask him to pray for us.

People touch your life in many ways, even not hearing or seeing them for a long period of time.. Father Tom was that type of man. He wasn't just a priest, a figure you looked up to, but a friend.. When I heard the news, I was deeply saddened, he was a down-to-earth man... I will always rememer Father Tom.... God has taken a good man from us... Thank you Father Tom for everything, rest in peace....
