Not sure what to say?

Tom made this caricature of me at a business after hours event in Dupont in 2006. He asked me what I wanted to be doing in the picture and I told him I worked on Apple computers. I used it on my business cards for years. I'm now doing computer tutoring at a senior center in Wenatchee and have started using it again. It's a very meaningful image of me that's become part of how I identify myself. Tom's will continue to live on through me and the many people he touched with his work.

Was going through boxes as I´m moving this week and found this gem from 2010. I was 13 at the time and he really captured me in this. Sad to hear he passed.

I miss my brother every day. He was kind, generous and very funny. I am so glad I am still close to his children and his wife. May God's Peace continue to abide with you.

I just learned of Tom's passing! While Catering & Event Director in Seattle, I had the pleasure & privilege to hire Huf as Caricature Artist on many occasions at Four Seasons Olympic Hotel & Columbia Tower Club! He "captured" the spirit of the individual! He was often the hit of the party! My condolences to your family!

Truly a gifted artist, pity his children didn't follow his artistic.path.One of a kind.

I just saw this..I am very sad to hear of his passing. I hired him numerous times for trade show/ booth sketches of my clients..people lined up for his portraits/ one a minute! I will miss him- a super human guy!
