Have known Tom since Thompkins Hill in Loleta. Then he and Kathy moved to Cave Junction. We "joined up" and found our farm in Grants Pass. He was so quick witted, humorous, and both He and Kathy became family. We will miss him. Our heartfelt condolences to Kathy, his son and daughter and there families. The world is a better lace because of him.

Tom was an amazing man, he was quick witted and full of spunk. Im so honored to have met him. My heart goes out to his wife Kathy. I know he is riding into the sunset on his favorite mare!

Such sad news. I have known Tom and Kathy for 30 years and they are such good people. For almost 20 years I boarded my horses up at their place on Tompkins Hill. So many great memories - barn parties, horses have Christmas stockings from Santa each year and always friendly conversation. I still have their last foal TuTu Tootsie (Justins granddaughter).
Many hugs to Kathy and all the family. Will see you on the 14th.

So sorry to hear this. Condolences to his wife. Thank you Tom for being very kind to me, and for taking excellent care of my horses when I was ill. It was and still is, very much appreciated.

Sad news, Tom was a real nice man. I met he and Kathy when they moved to Eureka. Very nice horses.
