From 1993 to 1995, when I was a young law student, Professor Walker and her husband used to invite some students to their beach house in Galveston for a much deserved break from our studies. Although, we never forgot that Professor Walker was our teacher, we appreciated the way that she connected with us as individuals. It is remarkable that this power couple took the time to mentor and nurture so many of us students. After all of these years, we still have fond memories of them together.

I met Tom in 1968 at the University of Houston, my freshman year. I knew he was destined for great things and would touch many lives if only because of his dynamic persona. I recall one of his most fervent goals was to become an attorney-at-law. With his hardy determination and Jesus, he made it. He was a good lawyer and a good man and he will be sorely missed. I extend my deepest sympathy and my prayers are with the Boston family.

Wow. This news certainly took me by surprise. I am extremely sorry for your family's loss. I had the pleasure of sharing a mutual client with Tom and we were also opposing counsels on a divorce case once. He always seemed upbeat. My prayers go out to you.

I had the fortune of running into Atty Boston recently in Court. I hope that in that chance encounter I was able to relay what a blessing he and Prof. Walker have been to my family and I. God has truly used the both of you as mentoring souls. I will always remember your infectious smile and spirit. I will do my best to pass it on to others. God Bless you both for what you have done in the lives of so many.

When I was a kid, Tom was one of my favorite adults in the world. He was everything I thought a grown-up should be and that never changed, even as I became a grown-up myself. He was just the epitome of cool; he never talked down to me and he always had the biggest smile. I know that he was one of the better people I have known in this world and I doubt that will change where he is now.
To the Boston Family,
All my love and support go out to you in this time of sorrow and I hope that you will soon be able to find solace and peace.

I thank God for allowing me the pleasure of meeting Tom in my time of need. I am a young mother who experienced my son getting into trouble that I could not get him out of.

Dear Boston Family,
It seems like yesterday we all played together and roamed the neighborhoods/military base looking for Tommy. Tommy was the big brother I never had but always wanted. He stood by me over the years and words do not adequately expressly my sincere appreciation for his support. While we will all miss him, he is at peace. My prayers are for those he leaves behind to find solace in knowing he is loved and will always be remembered for his kindness.

It's conforting to know he is with the Lord. My prayers are with his family.
