I have so many treasured memories of Tom but I’m a romantic and I live where the most mundane things are exciting and new.
This past summer Tom generously gifted me a brown crinkly bag filled with fresh, cleaned, corn on the Cobb. He excitedly verbalized instructions on how to get the optimal flavor from cooking them. I failed him by not following them strictly, I could tell by the slow deflated reply when I told him that I just didn’t get to it yet. You see, I didn’t realize time was of the essence. I don’t believe that I will ever be able to smell ripening corn without it evoking this memory of Tom or:
The smell of wood smoke from Tom stoking the fire as Cathi and I caught up over new reads or Douglas happenings.
The clinking of ice in a glass of scotch...
The fireside chats that were yet to come after the sheltering of Covid.
The wind tossing my hair as he and Cathi road us along the shoreline of an afternoon boat ride. Tom dancing with his hands in the air to the music through the sound system.
Perhaps one of the best things to happen was the chance for all of us to meet. Love and kindness is what matters the most. Your spirit will be missed Tom.

Having the honor of knowing Tom at MSU--our young days and in Greensboro, NC for the airport move--was always fun. Tom, serious as he was about other people, cared deeply that others were in a good place. He was one of our team members--Fisher, Parker, Donakowski, Fletcher and the others on the third floor at Butterfield Hall. We went to Florida, he in his little red TR7(?). We passed him as he was pulled over by the cops in Georgia on the trip down. He, being taller than most---gave the best hugs for all of his friends. He always, always made us laugh!
We all were blessed to have Tom as part of our young development.
Hearts, tears and blessing to you Tom's family.
