Saddened as well to hear of Tom's passing and missed the gathering on Saturday to tell fond memories of growing up in SLO on the Foothill side of town. A kind and fun loving man with a great sense of humor. We also worked together at a local grocery story and loved it when he'd relive his Sizzler days and jump on the intercom with... #77 with a snicker, clean up or "Emerson on aisle 5 Great memories

Uncle Tommy. I was crushed when I heard the news. I'm gonna miss you a lot! I remember as a kid we would come visit you in coalinga, you had a loud surround sound in your bedroom and put the movie Twister on so you and my Dad could catch up. Forever scared for life for being scared to death but forever engraved in my memories. Miss you being around always making us laugh. Thank you for being there for us kids growing up. I know I'll see you again.

My heart breaks........I first met Tom while he was bar tending at McCarthy's in Atascadero. That was quite a phase & he remained a friend via my daughter, Honey & her father, Rick. He will be missed greatly. A generous and kind soul with a wonderful sense of humor. May he Rest In Peace........❤❤
