My sincere regret to just now learn of Tom's passing. I got to know Tom as an investment advisor, but that grew into friendship. We had a number of common friends and acquaintances. I had only seen Tom briefly in recent years, but I respected him from both a professional and personal standpoint and valued his views and opinions. I am greatly saddened to learn of his passing.

I was privileged to be Tom's pastor for approximately 10 years! And I considered him great friend....we enjoyed golf together and he was very helpful in my investments. I thank the Lord for Tom...and miss him; yet I will get to see him again in glory!

My memories of Tom go back to our families and life in Haughville. Although I haven't seen Tom for years, my memories are of an exceptional person, kind, respectful and trustworthy. RIP

I have not seen Tommy for quiet a while but have heard about him from my sister and brother-in-law Barb & Marty Martinez. Sorry to hear of his passing. We used to live near him about 35 years ago in the El Largo apts. Such a good hearted man.

That phone call I made 2years ago to Tommy changed my life. We got together after 50 years of knowing each other to finally dating! We had wonderful times together. Even sitting on the sofa watching tv and teaching him to text me was fun for us.
Being with him and his beautiful family...eating out most every weekend, even a vacation in Cancun was magical and our holidays were perfect. I tried to tell him every day how much he meant to me. What a sweetheart.
Tommy is my best friend, my treasure, my everything. We will meet again and continue where we left off. Love to you baby, Vicki xoxo

Tom was always a friend in addition to being my broker at Noyes. I always enjoyed our discussions about current events and life in general. He will be missed by all who knew him.
