I will always love you. We will see each other again. Susan and Danny you have my condolences and deepest sympathy for the loss of your parents and brothers. May God bless and keep you forever

Wishing all the Biberstine family my greatest condolences. My mother, Gloria Klopfenstein Baumgartner Howes, was Tom's Mom's niece. I remember going to Aunt Lizzie's house off of Pettit in Ft. Wayne (don't remember the street name your house was on) to visit with Uncle Ralph, Aunt Lizzie and the kids. My mom always talked fondly of all of you. May your memories give you peace.

May all your hearts heal and be full of wonderful memories of your Dad. He will live on through all of you and your children. He was a lucky man to have such a beautiful family, as were all of you,and Lynn, to be loved by him.

Dear Dillon, Chad, Dustin, Collin, Cassondra and family,
We feel very fortunate that Tom touched our lives and we had the opportunity to meet such a great person. He and our son David shared many great times and they each taught each other a thing or two about fishing. We met Tom only a few times but in those times your dad was just larger than life. He and I chatted just the end of July, he was very lucky to be so close with all his children and he knew it. We have no words to express our sadness of Tom's passing and are so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely, Marina and Marc Kron

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Keep those memories alive. Take him along every journey. He will always be there.

We knew from the first day we met Tommy that our lives would never be the same. He has been our travel companion, roommate , guardian and brother from another mother for 39 years. Our lives now will never be the same without you Tommy. We will love and miss you always ! xoxo

Tommy you will surely be missed. I can't handle the thought of life without you. You will be fishing for men and womens souls. When I come to heaven to see you I have a lot of things to ask you since you were snatched away so quickly meet you at the water fountain thats where I told Mike I'd meet him, Miss you.

We are extremely upset to hear the tragic news of Tom's sudden passing. Over the many years we have known him he has always been a great friend and neighbour. We have shared many beers and fun times with him and these happy memories will always linger with us. We will miss his raucous laugh from the balcony. Our condolences to ALL his wonderful children and family who we had the pleasure of meeting just a few weeks ago. Love to all. Vivienne and Jack.

Dylan and Chad,

I will miss your dad very much. He was a great friend and neighbor to me. We had many great conversations (and even more laughs) on the balconies over the years. His humor, friendship, and generosity will never be forgotten.
My sincere condolences to the rest of your family too.
