My Pal Tom (Tudor) was a gregarious, generous , loving and kind human being. I met Tom through my then brother-in-law Carl Smith and was impressed with the way he carried and handled himself and his ability to draw the joy out of people. Tom and I had many a meal together and spent most of our time together belly laughing ,eating and drinking (I miss those times). He knew how to work, he knew how to play, he knew how to love--that constitutes a life well spent---peace and love to you brother and thank you for the love and laughs you shared with everybody--I hope to catch you on the flip side---
your pal,

Tom was my favorite cousin and I have fond childhood memories of him when all the families were together at our grandparents' house in San Francisco. Even though we weren't in touch for a few years we re-connected about 20 years ago. We talked regularly and he was always upbeat and kept his sense of humor up to the last conversation I had with him. He never missed by birthday and always sent a card followed by a phone call. He was a considerate and loving man, and I will always love and miss him. Rest in peace, Thomas Anthony.

Big smile, shirtless always doing yard work. My affectionate name for Tom was Silver Fox. He will always be in my heart
