Tom was a good friend. I'll always remember his smile and laugh. We had a lot of memorable times with a lot of good friends. You'll be missed Sherlock.

Very sad to hear of your passing Tom. You were and continue to be an amazing person that has ever crossed paths with my husband and I. Coming to DLP to fix our computers and to have our side conversations was always the best part of the day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts in reminding myself and my husband that our marriage will survive and that we are a great couple. I will miss your smile and your jokes, along with all your positivity.
Our condolences to the entire family. Rest easy Tom.

The biggest thing I learned from Tom is ... You be you; and I'll be me. And when I learned this, it changed everything between us ... and with everyone else. Tom was a wise man, a kind man, a compassionate man, a funny man, and so much more. How blessed I am to know and love him now and always.

We spent our early 20's at Billy B's. Tom was always smiling and great to be around. Even though we lost touch over the years we did get to see him a couple years ago to catch up. We are very sorry to hear of his passing and our condolences go out to his family.

Sad to see this. Tom solved computer problems for me several times at two locations in Warrenville. He was at all times a gentleman and a complete professional. My condolences to his family and friends.

I first met Tom for the first time at his computer shop on 59. This was also the home to The Village Chronicles which I was involved with for years. Tom and I remained friends throughout the years. He always had that dream and ideas galore. A true gentleman and a good friend. RIP my friend! Your memories will live on and always cherished.

We met at a Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within event -- we were both on Fire Team. While serving, we ended up in the conference room alone ... and they say the rest is history ... this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
