Tom enjoyed two things in his life, singing and gardening. I first met Tom when he became a member of the Master Gardener Society. Tom was very active and was President of MGSOC in 2010-2011. I will always remember the readings he gave at our Holiday Parties in December, some were emotional, some were funny. Sylvia Schult

Sorry to hear of Thomas' passing, I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

First met Tom in an interview for the MG class eight years ago. Admired his welcoming nature and service to the MG Society. Now I'm continuing to serve in his footsteps as the current president of that Society.
