SO SAD TO HEAR OF TOMS' PASSING. I HAVE A LOT OF GOOD TIMES AND LAUGHTER THAT I REMEMBER TOM FOR. HE ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF LIFTING THE SPIRITS NO MATTER WHERE HE WAS, AND HOW BAD THINGS IN HIS LIFE WERE. YOU WILL BE FOREVER MISSED , AND I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THE FRIENDSHIP THAT I HAD WITH YOU, EVEN THOUGH OUR PATHS HADN'T CROSSED IN A FEW YEARS. YOU WILL BE FOREVER MISSED. RIP IN PEACE JFT.

Thoughts & prayers go out to Tom's family. Tom was one of my closest friends in Rockford. We enjoyed the music, drink, laughter and just good times for sure! Very saddened to hear the news. We'll play some Tin Machine for you Tom! Love ya brother. See you in Heaven!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.
