known him and to call him friend. A true BLUES MAN with

the soul of a master. The State Fair will not be the same

without his smiling face at the Cotton Candy Stand. Rave on

thoughts and prayers. Deep Peace.

I'm sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Tom, his music and his great outlook on life. 23rd and Washington, 42nd and Lyndale, Mr. Lucky's...and many days of band practice in my parents basement will keep his memory alive for me.

Hi Michelle,

I don't know if you will remember me. I went to Centennial High School with you. You were a year older than me. My name is Shelly. We lived in the Paul Revere Court in New Brighton.

I still think of you from time to time wonder what you have been up to. You are such a beautiful person. Inside and out.

Im truly sorry for your loss. May God be with you and your family at this time.

Tom helped me get started playing blues piano in the 60's, I was fortunate to have done a few gigs with him, his sense for music was awesome. I will miss him.

"Tom was a Super Bass Player, Guitar Player, Organ Player, and most of all Super Entertainer. All of this wrapped up in a Super Guy.
I've known him since Tom Sechrest and the Dorado;s in 1960 at Mr. Lucky's. Please Tom prepare a Place up there for us. May "GOD BLESS YOU".
