To Mary and The Morley Family,
Tom has always been the light in any room into which he entered. Whether it was with his endless wit, his singing, his dancing or simply his unique and endearing personality - you always knew Tom was there!! A true and caring friend - we will miss him but he will always remain a wonderful part of our lives.

To the Morley Family,
Even though it has been many years since I had seen Tom, memories of him looking out for his family always had my respect. Gentlemen like Tom always remain in people's hearts forever. God Bless this Great American Family.

I loved Tom and will miss him so very much. He made me feel so welcome to the family (and what a wonderful family my "Maryland Morleys" are). He made me laugh...I loved his humor & quick wit. He was one of a kind. Sinatra's song, "My Way", would be fitting ...."I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way".
Betcha anything he's still doing things "his way" up in Heaven : )

I will miss Tom in so many ways. He was my "Lil' Tommy" and I was his "Miss Patti". We could laugh and be silly for hours at a time, but he could also be the most serious and insightful confidante. He was a precious gift, and I am so grateful to have had Tom in my life. He was taken from us way too soon.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary and the Morley family. I consider it a blessing to have been able to call Tom my friend. His genuine ability to listen with compassion and understanding is matched by few. His zest for life and laughter was inspirational to anyone who was lucky enough to meet him. He truly lived. Our world is less bright without him in it! Vaya Con Dios Mi Amigo

When spending time with Tom, you were guaranteed endless laughs and non-stop fun-there was never a dull moment. His wit, intelligence, generosity, warmth, and passion for life were a joy to experience. It is a true pleasure and privilege to be his friend. "Sir Thomas", things won't be the same without you, you are already greatly missed, and you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace old friend.

Dear Mrs. Morley and Family,
It is with deep sorrow and sympathy that I read about Tom today. I have the fondest memories of Tom and the day he first came to OLPH school. What a character! His smile and laugh were contagious. During our middle school and high school days,and even into our early 20's, one could always count on Tom to have a ready smile, joke, and plan for the weekend. I remember he loved to dance. The school bus was such fun with him around. Tom even made sure there would be a group of us at Mass to meet up with on Sundays. I can tell by the other messages, he still loved to be around lots of people and entertain them all. Childhood takes us back to good times and great memories. I will keep you all in my prayers. I like to think that Tom is singing, dancing, and entertaining the angels in heaven. Bless you all.
Sincerely,
Rose Geppi Liberto

I have known Tommy and his family since 1963. I always thought he was so sweet. Aproximately 11 years ago I moved to Westminster. I ran into him at a placed called Maggies. I saw him all the time. He was always so kind and funny. One of a kind. And one of the greatest people I knew. He will be missed by many people. God love him, and keep him. And let him lay in peace.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Morley family. You too, are very loving, and caring people. If I can do anything for you in any way, please let me know. (H) 410-437-0833

It was my extreme good fortune to have known Tom and spend many memorable hours laughing and chatting with Tom and Mary both. Anyone who has ever done that knows what a terrible void his passing has created. I'm sure Heaven must be a much more lively place now since Tom lights up a room wherever he goes.
