We had the pleasure of meeting Tom only once, he was charming and gracious. It was the first time we met Kim and you could see the love he had for his daughter. We are so sorry for the pain you feel when you lose someone so special in your life and we send our love!

Tom was always so nice and a good leader of our CHS class '63. At one of our reunions he brought each of us what we wrote in his senior year book. He was always caring. We missed him at our 50th reunion and many spoke of him. Rest in peace, Tom. Thank you for all your service in the Vietnam era!

I grew up knowing the Neutzling family! My father, Bernie Young was a good friend of Andy, Tom's dad. Tom and I went to grade school together at St. Mary's. a leader for our class of '63 at Cathedral. Many were asking about Tom at our class reunion this summer. May you rest in peace, friend and prayers and good thoughts go out to you and to your family! Hugs.

From Australia, I am a good friend of Nancy Weber, Tom's sister, and I convey my condolences to you all. If he was as funny, intelligent and as sincere as his sister, he must've been a great guy. Reddie Cain

Mike, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. It's ironic we were just talking about Tom and our Sacramento adventures from 40 years ago. I can still see the wry smile on his face whenever he sent us out to do a cleanup at "Rosswood".

You were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in peace and honor Tom.
