A year ago today you left us. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and smile at your newspaper clipping that's still on our fridge. I so miss our banter over haircuts, your wisdom, and your wonderful parties.

I was just reading an add about the Renaissance Fair coming to Folsom, CA and I thought of my friend "Tommy". I was first introduced to this event in the mid 90's by Tommy. I then decided to look him up via internet and found his obituary. I'm still in shock about his transition. RIP my friend, we had some very special moments together. I will cherish them forever. Until we meet again

Every day I walk past my refrigerator and look at your smiling face and miss you even more than the day before. On my second "replacement" stylist and believe you cannot be replaced, ever! Thinking of you and wishing I could get one last haircut and one last kiss ;-(

Thomas I hoped you knew how much I loved you. My family and I feel terrible that we just found out about this. You were a trusted friend and confidant. You gave me my first haircut. You gave my daughter her first haircut. I was so glad that you were able to attend my wedding. I will never forget you or your kindness. You always brought a smile to my face! We definitely shared the same sense of humor. I am glad that my daughter got to give you a kiss and a hug the last time she saw you.

My deepest condolences to the family. Thomas was not my hair stylist. He was a friend who did my hair. A true Renaissance man, he was kind, funny, smart, wise and a social justice warrior. When we entered his small station, we entered his big world of antiques, sports, politics, movies, music and stories! I learned more from his chair than from traveling the world. I always left more beautiful on the outside and more enlightened on the inside. Rest in Peace, Thomas. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I light this virtual candle to you pop. I'm sitting in your dining right now and my emotions are kicking in as I type. I love pop. You were my dad and my friend. There was nothing we could not talk about. I'm still in awe about loosing you. I wish we could have had more time..... but I am super thankful of all the time we did share. You impacted my life in so many ways pop! The memories we created with sustain me until my tI'm is up on this earth. I'm so glad to be your son. You still inspire me though you are not here. I will hold it down pop. I hope to become as great as you were.

My condolences to you and your family. Thomas was not only my hair guy, he was my confidant and adviser. He was one of a kind, a real "good guy". He will be missed.

Thomas was one of a kind - I will never find someone with his talent, knowledge, or commitment to justice, or the ability to cut my hair so perfectly. I'm in Mexico (Thomas: "don't rub it in"!), and not sure what I'll do in January. OMG, I'm so sad .

Even though he was known as "Tommy, the hair doctor", he was much more than that. His knowledge base and sphere of influence spanned way beyond Oak Park... He will live in our hearts forever. May GOD Bless you all...

I honor my fellow Oak Parkman and friend, Doc (that's what I always called him). I've known this man for 50+ years, and I will forever appreciate his conversational wisdom, insight, and candor. Sheldon, our condolences to you on your Father's passing, and I pray you and your family find comfort in the wonderful lifetime of memories that you enjoyed together. God Bless!

Tommy and I meant as small children and even then he was eccentric. He watched over us like an adult. He set such a good example for me that I tried to improve myself. He was a lifelong friend to me. My sincere condolences to his family. Thank you God for giving Tommy to us.

Thomas!! My friend, hairdresser, partner in all things political! How can we get along now that you are gone? One of the wisest men who kept up on the news and had such brilliant things to say and share. I cannot believe that you left us one day after a superb vacation haircut.
