Dear Will, Elizabeth, Chuck and Flicka,
Mark and I are so sorry for your loss and send our deepest sympathies to your family.
We are saddened to lose a longtime friend as Tom. The wonderful memories we shared over the years with your family being next door neighbors in Indy, years of dinners at each other´s houses and our annual Christmas Eve dinners together, full of great conversations, stories, and lots of laughs, are something that we hold dear in our hearts. We continued to enjoy phone calls with Tom every Christmas morning and other times after he moved to Santa Fe.
Tom was a very special man - full of knowledge, passion for history and the arts, kindness, wit, humor, optimism through his challenges, and real love for his family. His strong voice, sense of humor, hearty, infectious laugh, and friendship to our family are things we´ll always remember and truly miss. We hope that all the memories that you shared with him and knowing how much he loved his family will bring you comfort but know it takes a long time to heal from losing someone you love so deeply.
Love, Ingrid and Mark Munson

It was always a pleasure to chat with Tom. We shared a first name and a love for Evanston! Rest in peace dear friend. Deepest sympathy to you, Mrs. Slade.

Will and Elizabeth,
Fannie and I were saddened to hear of Tom's passing, and extend our deepest sympathies.
We often asked about your Dad when seeing Mike (Curley's).
We fondly remember him and your Mom for the kindnesses they showed our family as newbies on the block, and the great times we had during dinners and other celebrations. We too have lost both sets of our parents and have some understanding of the sadness you feel. We truly miss the Broadway gang, and offer our prayers of peace and comfort to you and your family.

I think we met in about 1978.....at the time, Yom and Susan were living at 4560 Broadway, two houses north of where I grew up. That connection only emphasized the historic preservation one..................I watched Will grow up.......how I will miss dear Tom!
