For many years Tom was part of our spiritual group. As we talked and shared with each other, Tom would get a look on his face and we knew that we were about to hear one of his deep questions or thoughts that would immediately touch all of our hearts. Tom...You will always be in my life.

Tom was one of my best friends in high school. I have great memories of him. We had so much fun. So sorry to hear of his passing.

I once told Tom that he contained more "thoughtfulness" in his little finger than I had in my entire body. He laughed, but I wasn't really joking. He could orchestrate the most perfect and kindest of gestures and thoughtful acts, right down to the color of the envelope or wrapping paper. There were times I was utterly amazed - it seemed like magic to me! I will never forget your kind, gentle, thoughtful Spirit, Tom. You taught me that we are never too busy to be thoughtful, and I am eternally grateful for that. Until we meet again. . .

Tom was a good friend and one of our "non-groupie" Friday group members. He was kind and thoughtful and very giving and I will miss him and his probing questions terribly. Love you, Tom
