Kelly and family, I'm sure that you don't remember us, but my family remembers Tom from his biddy coaching days. Tom was the assistant coach to my son James' basketball team, (Tim was on the same team) probably about eight to ten years ago. I'm sure he will be sadly missed.
Please accept our condolences to you and your family through this most difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jay, Nancy, James and William Murphy

I was shocked and saddened by the news of Tom's passing. I knew Tom (and Mikey) through Pop Warner Football and from my High School days in Shelton. He was a tremendous coach and father who was a positive influence for so many kids. Until now, I did not realize he was also a very talented performer. He will be missed.

I was shocked to read about Tom's death. It has been years since our paths have crossed but I wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My memories of Tommmy go back to the early 80's, he was such a caring person and always had a smile. GOD must have needed another caring ANGEL in Heaven Tommmy is now your ANGEL in Heaven watching over you and the kids.

I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great guy and I will never forget him and the years of pop-warner as well as basketball and SHS Football.

I can not even begin to say how much Tommy will be missed. He was my "back-up" husband. Tom and Kelly were there for me 24/7 at the time of my recent lose. I hope that I can be there for her and her family for as long as they need me. This family is very special to me and my family.
Kelly, I love you all...I love him...he will be enormously missed...my family is here for you...I will always be here.
With the heaviest heart and all my Love, Lynda

We are so deeply saddened by the events of this weekend. It does not seem real. Our lives have been touched by Tom in so many ways and words cannot describe how much we will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Please know that we are always just a phone call away should you need anything! We love Tom and all of the Swanson/Samoskevich clan and hope that with time, the sadness will be lessened. We are all fortunate to have had Tom in our lives and we will carry his spirit with us everywhere we go, every day of our lives!

Dear Kelly and Family:
I am so deeply hurt to hear such sad news about your husband Tom. I have known Tom since we were teenagers and I cant beleive he is gone. I am sooooooo thankful we all had so many laughs at our 25th reunion. With great pictures and memories.
During this time you need to hold on to the love and laughs you two shared.
I will pray for you and your family and know that he was loved by many and will be missed.

Kelly and Family,
Like so many others who were drawn to Tom by his charm, sense of humor, and dedication to his family, friends and community, we are bewildered by his unexpected passing. We are finding some comfort in the many special memories we have of Tom...the "Orange Crush" team (best darn Pee Wees on the planet!), is anyone counting "minimum plays"?, Shelton American baseball games, SPW trips to Florida, watching Tom perform at Toad's.
We have lost someone very special.
Our love and deepest sympathy to you all.
Charlene, Gary, Christina, and Gary
