My most sincere condolences to Tom's family, friends and all that he helped in one way or another. A very fine man and dedicated to those that turned to him for guidance and focus. He has helped so many, and will be greatly missed with that fantastic smile and desire. I have only know Tom for a few years. Thank you.
God Bless Tom, you are still watching over so many of us. Rest in peace.

Tom will be truly missed by his patients and those who interacted with him in his clinical practice. I have known Tom for 20 years and have relied upon his professionalism, gentle nature, empathy, and warm-hearted demeanor to handle difficult cases. He provided a unique service in his work with pilots that is not duplicated by any other professional in the United States. God bless Tom and his family in this time of sorrow.

To Tom's children and extended family we send our deepest condolence's. Tom and I shared an office for many years at the Ports O' Call, and we never exchanged a cross word. Tom had many wonderful qualities, he was a gentleman, a professional and a kind man with a deep spiritual glow. We were also neighbors and it won't be the same driving down Spearing Ave. and not seeing Tom in his garage, cigar in hand, reading and enjoying the day! We will be on the east coast, unable to attend his memorial service, but we will be with all of you spiritually on that special day. God Bless you all!

There is a saying that some people come into your life to teach us lessons. Others, come into our lives to be supportive, compassionate, and trustworthy. Tom Gullet had all these qualities and more. He was a talented therapist, pilot, artist, but most of all Tom was a fantastic friend who made the world a better place by being in it. I will miss Tom more than words can express. My deepest sympathies to Eric, Tamra and the entire Gullet family.
