I just learned of Tom's passing this evening from Tim and Linda. Tom had a personality so warm and engaging and even if he was a really big deal and he was, he never made you feel less. When I worked at KMON he and I would have breakfast at the 4B's before he opened Uke's. we would stay in touch as he came throughout Spokane usually at a whirlwind pace. He had a great laugh, terrific sense of humor and wonderful personality
You'll be missed, Tom but will live on in the many kindness you extended. Thanks!

My close circle of high school friends included Tom - and he was without a doubt the most reliable and the kindest of us all.

Dennis O. informed me of the loss of his never ending smile. While we lost touch/contact some years ago, I always thought of Tom as one of the truly fine and friendly people I met while living in "the Falls". My thoughts and prayers for Tim, and Mike, and all who knew & loved this very special "super guy". Such a character...
