Not sure what to say?

Gone but not forgotten. While I struggled through life experiences you would always say --"Don't Quit!" And I didn't! Thank you.

Tom i know its been years since your passing. But i just wanted to tell you, you are not forgotten. I remembered the day we met at ohlone college in the 1970s
I was student reporter on the monitor covering student council, and then few years later I became second student rep to board of trustees may.

Nancy, I just saw this and am so sorry to hear this sad news. I remember him, you, and little Amber with a lot of love 30 years ago when little Mitch and I used to babysit for you. I'd love to catch [email protected]

Dear Nancy, Amber, and Kelly. I just learned of Tom's passing and wanted to send my heart felt sympathies to his family. I was an older student at Ohlone when I met Tom and he counseled me throughout my years there and then gently pushed me to continue at Cal State Hayward. I couldn't have gotten my BA Psychology or stayed sane through other life experiences without his help. The last time we spoke he was so happy with the new home in Pleasanton. My heart aches that you have lost him, but his...

My heartfelt condolences to Tom's family and friends. I met Tom while working at Ohlone. If I'm not mistaken, I think we started around the same time in 1986. He was an excellent counselor and a very nice man. He had a friendly, approachable, easy manner about him and a friendly smile. He was also very intelligent and had a good sense of humor, I loved his newspaper articles. He brought out the best in people. He made a difference in this world. He will be missed

Dear Nancy, I was so sorry to come across this sad news. You have often been in my thoughts. I am glad we got a chance to reconnect, and explore Philadelphia together. I loved hearing about your family, the wedding, and your move to San Diego. You and Tom built a beautiful life together. I send love and prayers.

Dear Nancy and family. Tom was one of the first faculty to befriend me when I started the health center at Ohlone in 1996. He was so caring and encouraging and funny. He always did or said something to make me laugh. He nurtured me through a divorce and helped me remain sane. I am so sorry he is gone but will never ever forget his dedication to his students, family and life. Our dinner with the Bakers was sooo much fun.
Huge hugs and prayers during this very tough time. His legacy...

Nancy, Amber and Kelly,
I spent many wonderful years as Tom's colleague in both the psychology and counseling departments at Ohlone College. He repeatedly made me laugh until I cried. We had so much fun and I will always have fond and wonderful memories of our years together.
He was loving and caring and a great teacher and counselor much loved by his students. I am so saddened by his passing but he will always live on in my heart.

Nancy, (& girls)

I am so sorry and so sad to hear of Tom's passing. I have such amazing memories of him as a young girl at Gomes Elementary, babysitting your girls and then at Ohlone College. His kind heard and generous spirit will never be forgotten. My heart breaks for you all - it is never easy to lose a spouse/parent. I pray for you in this difficult time. Blessings.
