We are deeply saddened by the sudden illness and loss of Tom. We knew Tom through tennis. He was always as friendly and pleasant as he was a good player. He will be sadly missed by his many tennis friends.

I was a friend, and played tennis with Tom for many years before I moved from the area. What a great guy! Also experienced my first skiing adventure with Tom with lots of laughs. Condolences to his family, companion, and friends. He left this earth way too soon. He will be missed.
