TOM ATHANS

So sad to hear this news. Tom was a great guy. All of us at Park Avenue Tavern enjoyed his friendship. Tom was there for us to help build our wine list and conduct staff trainings. His unique personality and great sense of humor as well as passion for wine, the hopsitality industry, and life in general were infections. He will be missed.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family. The strength from God can sustain you through this very difficult time. May your loving memories of the times you shared bring you a measure of comfort now and in the days ahead.

Please accept my sincere condolence. May mercy, peace and love be increased to you and your family. Jude 2

Tom, I didn't know you for very long just a couple months at Dandy but you were kind, big- and warm-hearted, you always made me laugh, and we shared lots of great meals together plus some delicious grappa that you brought in for me to sample once! Thanks, Tom! I miss you, buddy. Have a round on me in heaven.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Tom, but my son, Chad Miller, worked with him for a short time at Dandelion Wine. Chad continues to recover from a severe fall in March, 2016.
I posted updates on Caring Bridge and noted on many occasions beautiful entries of prayer, support and encouragement from Tom Athans. Tom, I never met you but I wish I had. Your notes sustained me at the most difficult time of our lives. May you be enjoying the view of us from heaven and God bless you for your...

Tom, we'll miss you so much. One of the most generous, kind, a political soulmate and one of the best barbecues I've seen. Thanks!

Feeling the loss of you greatly, you were loved greatly....
