We are grateful for all of the love and support that Tom and Deb's friends have given to Debbie, Katie, Matthew and Kevin through this very unbelievable time.
Tom's death leaves a vacant spot at our family's table, but in our hearts we know that he has gone to sit at a greater family table, waiting and guiding the rest of us.
Uncle Tom will always live in the hearts of Elizabeth and Caroline. Whether it be splashing in the pool, walking around the property, or...

Debbie,
I was deeply sadden this week when I learned of Tom's passing away. I too like so many others had the honor to ride motors and to work side by side with Tom in the 80's. To this day one of our squad photo's hangs in my office. Tom is standing above me as though he is watching over me like a big brother. Well I quess he has and I know that he will still watch over all of those who had the honor to call him their friend. Tom will be missed by all. He was one of the BEST.

My wife Kathy and I were deeply saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I rode motors with Tom on the PD in the early 1980s. It was a priveledge to work with him and I will always remember him and his sense of humor. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Debbie, I just wanted to let you know that my prayers and thoughts are with you. We had great times together (remember the 50's party you two gave). There is so little one can say, but my heart goes out to you and your family.

Debbie,
Tom and I worked together on the PD in the late 70s. I received an e-mail yesterday informing me of his untimely death.
You and your family should keep in mind that Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have light of life."
My wife and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Debbie and Family,
We are still in shock after hearing of Tom's untimely passing. It was just a few months ago that we received an email from him and were delighted to reconnect. We were amazed to learn that our daughter had cut his hair just before he went in for surgery. Please know we will continue to hold you all in our prayers during the difficult days ahead.
