Thom was an incredible man. I met him through the Order of the Arrow. (Scouts of America). He was always cheerful, helpful and full of knowledge. He assisted both of my boys, outside of his required time with lines and studying of the OA scripts. He had a way of making anyone around him feel capable and important. He will be so greatly missed. I truly wish the pandemic had not been a thing because I would have loved spending more time with him in the last 2 years. I wish more people shared his enthusiasm and joy for life. I will miss you my friend. Untill we meet again.....
