I'd like to echo Kevin's message. Tom and I shared some great laughs on and off the tennis court through our high school years. He had an incredibly quick wit and certainly kept me humble. My condolences to his entire family and I'm fortunate to have had him as a friend.

My sincere condolences to all of the Franer's and extended family. Never a better person than Tom will you find and he is just an extension of one of the finest, loving families you could ever hope to know. I feel truly honored that I was able to be a part Tom's life. Thanks to Luke for letting me in and being just a part of their wonderful family. So many memories that will always bring a smile and live on forever!

My condolences to Tom's family! Tom and I were high school friends and I remember him as if were yesterday! Always a smile, quick wit, and maybe even a little sarcasm to top it off! He was a great kid and although the years distanced us, I am sure he was even a better man!
