It was always a pleasure to be with Tom. We had many great conversations and shared many great experiences on the many rides we were on together. I miss his companionship a great deal. Rest in Peace Tom.

It was always a privilege for me when Tom sat in my chair for his haircut. He was a great client for several years. He will be greatly missed and remembered for his immense wealth of knowledge of most any subject! RIP Tom.

I was lucky to spend many afternoons on the golf course with Tom. Enjoying an occasional cigar, bad joke and good putt. He even let this Bears fan have a post round beer at his favorite Las Vegas Packers bar. A truly nice man.

Uncle Jay (Tom),
I can't begin articulate how broken I am that you are gone! No matter how far apart our family was you never missed a happy birthday or a holiday note and you'll never know how much that has meant to me! I will forever miss our football debates and our mutual love of GB and Harley's. I hope you saw the beautiful display your HOG brothers and sisters brought out for you! Once you are a member of the Harley family you are forever a member of the Harley family. You have created a legacy that will never be forgotten. You lived your life just the way you wanted to and embodied the Harley way of life! Your memory will be carried on forever by those of us who loved you most. Your memory will live on forever in my heart. Please give grandma a big hug for me and ride on in Heaven! May you continue to fulfill your dreams in Heaven! I will love you always!

Tom was well known for his "Tomisims". He had a unique ability to always lighten the mood & bring a smile to EVERYONE'S face. I only knew & worked with him for a short time at the Cosmopolitan, Although I felt I knew him for years. You don't come across many genuine people like Tom. There was never ANY gray area with him, he said what he meant, and did what he said. I'm blessed to have known Tom as a Coworker & Friend. R.I.P. Big Guy - Thanks for the Memories!

There is one less Teddy Bear in the world. You had a warm, kind, sensitive side that you tried to hide but could not. You had no idea how much you are loved! It's so hard to say goodbye to you. Thank you for allowing work to be fun, for the kindness you showed me, and for being a part of my life. You will forever have a place in my heart.

He was a great man and a great friend. Would give you the shirt off his back if you asked for it. He even let me take a mulligan when I wanted but he never took one. Always willing to help out and lend a hand. Will be missed by a lot of people that he knew.

I'm one of Tom's newer friends having only recently joined the Road Captain's of SNHOG. But it was clear early that Tom was quite a gentleman. I got the privilege of sharing cigars and stories for several hours on our recent trip to San Diego. He will most certainly be missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Tom I will never forget our HOT training trip to San Diego. You were such a quiet man until you started talking about toilets! OMG you were just hilarious. Thank you for making that trip, and all of the rest of the trips with your HOG family, enjoyable and unforgettable. You are missed, always.

Tom
You have always been a pillar of strength and honor to all who know you. Your kindness, smile, wit & mentorship will be greatly missed my friend. May your legacy never cease to inspire, your memory to nurture warm hearts & your final ride off is with a hand full of throttle and many bugs in your teeth.
God Bless
