Hi Tom, greetings. I'm sure you've met my lovely bride, Cindy by now. She's the one that lit up the room the second she came home to Jesus on his birthday this Christmas, 12/25/2021. I'm sure you'll enjoy conversations with her - she's always been a good listener, as were you my friend and colleague.
Dayenu!

Jackie, Stephen and David - I extend my deepest sympathy to you and the rest of your family on the loss of Tom. I had the privilege of working with him at Costa Farms. Tom was an example of professionalism and integrity, and I learned so much from him! I pray for his eternal rest. Arianna Cabrera de Ona

My heartfelt condolences goes out to the Miles family. He was mentor to me and a catalyst with GMAC. A man of integrity. It was an honor to get to officiate with you, my friend. Never forget you, Tom. Godspeed.

I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Tom when I coached my kids in Khoury League 20+years ago and again as a fellow HS umpire. TOM WAS A GOOD MAN! I/we will miss him beyond what words can describe.....

I met Tom 20+ years ago, chaperoning for Killian Band. Tom was always giving of his time and energy to help out the students and other parents, driving and hauling equipment. It was an even greater honer, several years later to reconnnect with Tom and his family as our kids embarked on a new relationship. I am ever grateful for Tom's giving spirit as he helped first my daughter and later she and Steve move across state and across state lines as their relationship grew stronger and into marriage. I know our grandkids loved their Grandpa greatly and he will be missed by family that loved him very much and that he was always present for. My condolences

Always a winner! (Thorn Valley 2017 Safety Conference)

Tom was a great advocate for safety, always willing to listen, help, and collaborate with everyone he worked with. We'll all miss him, his smile and sense of humor.

My heart is broken as Tom was a special man. You do not come across many of his kind. I was lucky to have met him. I will miss working with Tom and our BB talks. Rest in peace my friend.
