Dear Family people:
Years since I saw Tom, tried recently while in Walnut Creek but he couldn't see me. His sister and I were close but I have great memories of the over six foot man with a lovely smile. He will be missed

Tom was a big, kind, bear who loved the colour BLUE...He was fun to work for, very helpful, complimentary, appreciative, interested in a wide array of topics. We shared a great love for movies. To be friends with him was an honor and a joy; I am going to miss him immensely. He was a really wonderful person, making you feel better being around him. I am glad he is no longer in pain.
My heart goes out to all of his family.
Many blessings,
Lynda Pehoski

Sincere condolences to Tom's family. I met Tom many years ago when he helped with Bill Schumacher's political campaigns. He was genuinely a nice man and the world will be a little less bright without his presence! RIP.

Sharing meals and visiting with Tom was a great pleasure when I spent time with my Dad at Kensington. I will miss his wit and graceful humor.Holly Nilson

My heart goes out to all of Tom's family. It was my good fortune to work for Tom at Wilson, Morton; I will always remember his kindness, his laughter, and his love for the Bears and the Raiders. Rest in peace.
