We didn't know of Tom's passing. I'm crushed. He was an intense and deep individual who we were so so lucky to have been apart of his life and Sue's during fun times. Tom for me was an individual I met at an intersection of my life's journey. Only so many times in the journey do you met someone who becomes so impactful on your life. He was that and more! Our heart and prayers goes out to the family that he adored. Love with tears in my eyes, Rob and Chia

I just learned of Tom's passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Sue and the family. I first met Sue and Tom when they moved to Auburn and we were neighbors and a few of our children attended the same schools. Sue and I are both English and I we enjoyed that bond. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to Sue and the rest of the family. I started seeing Tom as a chiropractor over 20 years ago. He had treated my husband and children as well over the years. He helped me through a lot, not just with chiropractic adjustments, but he truly listened and treated me as a whole person. I loved his sense of humor and his sense of purpose in life, it seemed that he was always exploring new hobbies, new medicine and learning new ways to help people heal. He was an amazing human and I am...

I remember Tom´s joy in planning and pulling off Sue´s surprise birthday party. It was such fun to celebrate with them. Tom assembled us all into a huge backyard circle that evening. He introduced us one at a time and explained how each of us was uniquely connected to him and Sue. Such a delightful celebration of Tom and Sue, family and friends.

In 2011, I met Tom at his Saturday yard sale at Ramona and Wishon. Newly retired like me, we had lots to share about the next chapters of our lives. Talkative, charismatic, generous and kind were my first impressions. We talked at length and he insisted on sharing an article from The New Yorker which took him inside and brought Sue, Portia and nursing Fiona outside. We also exchanged warm and cordial greetings. Infrequent encounters over the next couple of years kept us acquainted. Sue and...

I just learned of the very sad news of his passing, today on his birthday. I want to send my sincere sympathies to his wife, Sue & his family. Tom, was always so nice to me. He loved talking about his family & his trips to Costa Rica. He sometimes would give me health advice. He was very knowledgeable. He will be missed by many
