I just read about Tom's passing in the Chico State Alumni magazine. I remember Tom as someone who could make you laugh without saying a word. He was a talented guy with a heart of gold. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Thomas was my best friend. I'm gonna miss him immensely. He always made the time I spent with him,better. Whether it was going to a Dropkick Murphy concert or just hanging at his house watching baseball. I'm always gonna cherish our adventures. The St.Louis road trip,baseball games,get togethers with friends. I love you Thomas and you are always in my heart. I'm really gonna miss you.

Thomas, i have so many memories of you...you made our get togethers so much more fun! BBQ's, kids bday parties, adult bday parties, Thanksgiving dinners, and The Dirty Dozen pajama parties!! Playing charades, which we will continue to play, but we will never be able to top you acting out The Pelican Brief!!! I'm laughing even now! I will always cherish the STL Cardinals hoodie that you and Noah got me on y'alls road trip there...even the bird house you gave us, which is conveniently painted red and white. :) I will always think of you when I hear/see Lady Gaga! :D. My boys even remember how you made them laugh...never a dull moment with you!! We love you Thomas Reid...you will surely be missed and will stay forever in our hearts! R.I.P

Uncle Tom,
Thank you for all the miles you traveled to watch me play softball, graduate high school and officiate my wedding. Thank you for all the stories, head nods and eye rolls we shared and thank you for teaching me how to hard boil an egg! I'll forever miss sitting in the grass with you at baseball games sipping a cold beer and your much anticipated 10 pound Christmas package of chocolate wrapped in cardinal wrapping paper. I'm thankful for every moment we shared. I love you. I miss you; until we meet again...

I didn't know him well. Did have the honor of meeting him. A life to be honored?

my dear friend Thomas I've been sitting here trying to come up with words that would be worthy of your memory and I continually fall short.I will always remember our times together as the Dirty Dozen, the times that we stand at my place what magnificent parties you were always one of the centerpieces. The few times that we spent at the coast all of us at the beach house and the mini charades games and belly laughs will always make me smile. I love you, we love you you are one that will be truly missed

Thomas had a laugh and smile that was contagious. You couldn't help smiling back. So many long slow nights at work and too many hilarious stories. He would have us laughing till it hurt. Thomas you will be forever missed.

Uncle Tom, you were so special to me. Learning to live life without you in it is going to be a painful journey. Thank you God for the years you gave us.

Tom, I wish I'd known the hurt you had to feel. I hope in time your family finds a way for them to heal.
I'm sorry that we fell so out of touch.
Today, you would have been proud to say you're kin of such nice people. You clearly were important to your family and they presented a first-class tribute to you that was unmistakably sincere and though they were clearly in pain, they focused on the joy you brought them. Your friends at Duffy's were there and told of how you lit up their lives. Your friends from high school were there and it felt like you were there too.
I think of you often and will remain your friend always. Keep a couple of cold ones on-hand. Life goes by so fast. We'll surely talk about this later.
