Thomas Franklin "Tom" Hendricks

I've many happy memories playing with Tom & my brother Steve as children in Des Moines...

Kathryn,

You and I never met but I was an acquaintance of Tom's through AeroCommanders (AeroAir) and QBs (though I am only a candidate, through Tom's encouragement.) I only learned last week of Tom's demise, so I apologize for the belated message. I found Tom to be a patient, generous man whose company I enjoyed, and will miss. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Pete

My deepest condolences to Tom's wife and family. I knew Tom briefly as an acupuncturist, but also thought of him as a friend. I know Tom has found peace and is finally flying again.

Dear Kathryn,
Lois and I wish relief and comfort for you in this time of recovery.

A few years ago Tom gave me an airplane ride which I had won in a church drawing. Heavy East wind and
freezing cold. Tom made it easy and fun. We're fortunate to have known him. Ted and Lois

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My name is Cathy Grimes. My husband Larry died of ALS May of 2012. Tom, Larry and myself attended the ALS support group at Providence. At my husbands funeral service Tom came and greatly touched my heart and my families. This disease is very evil and terrible and we hope for breakthroughs in treatments. We will think of you.
