Can't believe he's been gone this long. Such a beacon of sense, humor, love and music genius!

Tom worked for me at a couple different radio stations and was a true pro. Quick with a quip, easy going and a truly good guy.
May his friends and family be comforted by loving memories of him.

I never met Thom, but knew him thru the WWTBAM message board. He was a brilliantly funny, talented, kind man who will be sorely missed.
