TOM OPPENHEIMER

Tom, I never met you, but my sympathies go out to you all and especially my friend Cyndi

Tom, I thought about you so much this week as we marked one month since you passed. As mom packs for Sarasota and I have images of how happy you were there on the courts and with your guy friends, I think: who will ever be as patient as you. Who will ever be patient enough to give me a tennis lesson. The balls would fly to every corner of the court-you´d get a month´s worth of exercise in that one hour- and then it would take 20 minutes to gather balls and sweep the court. But you never...

W,hen I thanked your dad for our first visit to TREE TOP, I responded with this prayer- This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.Your dad was very special and he certainly had an eye for beauty. TREETOP is heavenly and I'm so glad he shared it with us. With love, Cliffie

I have so many wonderful memories of Tom over the years in many different places - at Tufts, in Margaretville, NJ, NC & most recently in Sarasota. He was always full of generosity, compassion and integrity. It was a privilege, joy and honor to be so fortunate to spend time with him. Much love, many hugs and compassion to you all.

As we approach Thanksgiving, I'm especially grateful for memories of Tom teaching us card games, telling stories, and always bringing so much joy to our family gatherings. His genuine interest in others and vivacity was inspiring.
