Tom produced the "Song Cycle," live performances featuring local musicians, and was known for his eclectic mixed tapes, art collages, Scrabble prowess. Tom had a wide circle of friends, and is survived by his older siblings Ann Febiger, David Erikson, and John Erikson, and several nieces and nephews. He died listening to a song recorded by his longtime partner, singer-songwriter Monica Pasqual.
