Thomas Coulter

My name is Fred Atkinson, and I lived near Tom, on San Carlos Avenue, in San Carlos in 1950. We became close friends and hiked throughout San Carlos, including the hills. We hiked and rode bicycles and searched the creeks and mineral canyons like Red Rock Canyon and Eagle Rock. Tom and I were the first to discover gold in the Carlos hills, and were never credited for the find. We discovered buried Spanish Doubloons on a property close to ours, and of course we never got credit for the find. Spanish Doubloons are very large copper coins about four to five inches in diameter. We attended Arundel grammar school from the first to sixth grade, Tierra Linda Middle School, and Carlmont High School. We both graduated from Carlmont High School in June of 1962. Since then we went in separate directions, and I've had limited contact with him. The last contact I had was a letter from him encouraging me to attend our fifty year Carlmont reunion. He offered to drive to Sacramento, where I live, to give me a ride to the reunion. My life is based on caring for horses: general caring, and training, and even one day away can be costly, so I was unable to attend. I'd like to visit his grave to show my respects.

I worked for Rene and Coulter in the 80's
What good people
Coulter was larger than Life
Fun, sensitive, caring and wise
I always loved his saying
" Thanks much "
And thank you Coulter for wonderful times and find, find memories

I knew Tommy from the early days at Window's in the Marina. I will miss him.

Tom always greeted me with a smile and kiss. I will miss him and remember him every time I think of GPS.

Words are not important right now. Tom knows exactly what I mean. Hugs forever and a day...
IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.,.

What a wonderful man. He always took time to acknowledge folks and share his wisdom & humor. I am truly thankful for having met him. A true gentleman with class & heart.

Tom was a wonderful guy. Years ago my sister and I were walking on Ulloa by Phillys. Had never met Tom before. As we walked by he said "Hey girls there is a really good looking bartender working today you should stop in" when we went in to see in comes Tom goes behind the bar and says what can I get you ladies.

I will miss the rose but I will miss you most of all.

Prayers to a Great Bartender!!!! May you Rest In Peace....
