I remember him as Ringy when I was on the 1985 BSU X Country team. He was a great teammate and awesome guy.

Tom was an exceptional man in all he did. He left a mark and touched every heart he came across. His passing is a great loss to the community and more to you and your children. May he rest in peace as the Lord takes care of you.

I first met Tom as a student of mine in 7th grade. He was so interested in learning about tools. Years later I had the experience of teaching with him. Years later he replaced me at CI . I was always near Tom to share our work experiences but more important our FAITH experiences. Years forward I know we will meet again. At this time we will miss you. God bless you Tom ,you were a good and faithful servant. God bless your family.

Tammy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Tom at Cromwell many years ago, and he kept in touch. He did so many kind gestures toward me and my family over the years -- too many and too special to name here. He was a special man, who leaves a special legacy. I will always remember Tom as a passionate man who exuded love, especially for those he taught and coached. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

Tom was a good friend in the Lincoln school days (2nd grade) in Ely. He was a very kind and full of character even at this young age. I wish his family all of the best, and we will pray for you today. Godspeed Tom.
