So sad to hear of Tom's passing and prayers for the family. Tom was a great friend and we had many fun and crazy times together in Las Cruces, Santa Fe and Aztec.. His friendship is something I have and will always remember.

Sadden to hear about Tom's passing. We were high school Classmates at SFHS. I remember Tom fondly as very involved in class activities. I always felt Tom traveled in his own orbit and while fiercely independent and one of a kind, he was also deeply connected to class mates, well liked and well respected for his hard work, humor and availability to lend a hand. He will be missed. Condolences to his family.
