I met Tom when I was 16 yrs old over thirty years ago. He was my first love and later a great friend. I think it is a testament to Tom that he kept up with so many old friends throughout his life, but that was his thoughtful and caring way. I was very glad to share so many nice conversations with Tom through the years and we always enjoyed keeping up with each other. I especially enjoyed our many conversations over his last few months. I was not aware of his death until I realized his calls had stopped coming and I found his obit online. I will miss you greatly my friend. May you rest in peace. Never to hear your voice until we meet again. God rest your soul. I will always love you and appreciate our friendship.

I remember meeting Tom when David Doll and I were riding our bikes around his street. He was so proud to show us his 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang he was working on. He asked me to come over and help him with it and we became best friends for life. I will never forget the good times we had. Weather it was cruising the highway listening to Journey, very early mornings with his brother searching for part for his Mustang, racing his Mustang with my car, to going 4 wheeling in his Bronco. Tom was the only person I knew that would seem to change cars every two years. God gave him a gift to make anything for a car. Tom loved God. Tom had a great heart. Like, one day I didn't want to go out and he came over and said “We are going come on”. He made me feel better. There was nothing Tom would not do for his friends.
My parents took in Tom as their long lost son and my brother. They loved him dearly. He would come over every day after work and on the weekends. You would know it was him because he would make a screeching noise with his car coming up the driveway. To this day my dad would look forward to his call just to see how he was doing.
Tom called me one day and said he developed throat cancer. He told me he would beat it and a man of his word he did. I was so happy for him.
I was shocked to hear he passed away. My condolence goes out to his mother Dot and to his brother Doug and the children. Tom, I will miss you, but I know I will see you up in heaven.

Tom was a friend of the Varga Family for over 35 years. Stephan Varga Sr was like a father to Tom for many of those years. We will never forget you, Tom. May you rest in peace with the Lord until the day we meet again. All our love, Helen & Jim Varga

Tom, we were friends for almost 40 years and even though we hadn't seen each other in quite a few years, I always looked forward to our phone calls. I will miss you, my friend. I know that you are with those that went before you and with our Lord, but right now that is small condolence to those left behind. I was so happy when you beat the cancer and knew you had a second chance at life. I wish that second chance had been longer. All I have now is the great memories we shared. May you rest in Peace until we meet again.

I just want to send my heartfelt love for his mother Dot, his brother Doug and his children Michael, John, Chelsey and Katie. Over the years I have been able to build a relationship with Tom that was quite unsual but geniune at the same time. We would talk on the phone or in person, about more than everyday life, but also about the future of the world, cars, and our relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.

He was geniune when it came to his relationship with Jesus, he would always ask me questions about things he heard and things he wanted to say to others. I will surely miss the conversations, about what production muscle car was the best, fathering and everyday life experiences.

Tom, I made you a promise earlier in the year and I will honor that promise until it is my time to go. Tom Thank You for our friendship, and the oppurtunities you bestowed upon, I will miss you!!!

Your Brother in Christ,
Rick Miller
