Tom was such a wonderful character and it was a pleasure to be in his company. We will long remember his many stories, and the support he gave to Rasta Jana Vala. Go with God, dear friend. And love to Kathy and the family, Ginger Harlow Allen

Jim and I consider it an honor to have known Tom. He was the model of integrity. He loved God, Kathy, and his family in a way that set a standard for all of us. There is a new angel watching over us. He will be missed and always remembered.
Love,
Betty and Jim Knight

Dear Aunt Kathy and my Dear Withycombe Cousins,

I am sending my deepest condolences and love at the loss of dear Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom was always so kind, loving and and generous to all of us Naden cousins. I have many fond memories of summer vacations in Indiana or Oregon, including an epic family journey in 1981 (?) where I drove back with you from Indiana to Oregon. Uncle Tom leaves behind a wonderful legacy through his leadership and community activities and he will not be forgotten. Love to all, Joan & Colin Clay

Tom will be remembered and missed by the many of us who are GP Law "alumni." We all benefited on a personal and professional level from his humor, friendship, intellect, advice, and great stories. Truly a "one of a kind attorney" in the very best and highest sense of those words. All who knew him will remember his devotion to his family, to GP, to Scouting, and to the Marines. And any remembrance of Tom isn't complete without mentioning his ability to sing from memory the Korean National Anthem (in perfect Korean no less!) Rest in peace, Tom -- we'll see you on the other side.
