When you are friends as long as we were, starting in grade school, the memories are many. I miss talking Celtics, Browns, and sports in general. You are missed old friend.

Mrs. O'Brien,
I am really sorry I could not make it back for the funeral. Coach was always kind to me on and off the golf course. He loved golf, and I learned so many valuable lessons about golf and life from him. His passion for golf was infectious and listening to him talk about the game instilled a love of the game in me. He kept the most amazing golf stat sheets I have ever seen for all of his players from our putting averages to how many sand saves we would have in a round. I still mark down those same stats everytime I play because of him. I deeply appreciate all of the knowledge Coach bestowed upon me, and I will miss him. My condolences to you and your family.

Rest in Peace, Coach Tom. Your dedicated contributions to so many programs at Luers will long be remembered, especially for the golf and basketball teams. Your tireless efforts with youth girls basketball had much to do with the tremendous success of the Lady Knights for almost two decades. Matt Lindsay

While I haven't seen Tom since H.S., I remember him as being a gem of a guy. My sincere condolences to his family.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Thomas' family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May that bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Liz and kids, I am so saddened for you in the passing of Tom. He shared so many of his talents with the Bishop Luers students. He will be swinging that golf club in Heaven till his heart is content.

Tom is my oldest friend. Going back to grade school at St. Joe's. His legacy is his family and that is indeed a wonderful legacy. He will be missed beyond simple words. He will be in our hearts forever.
