What a fine man that I will miss very much. I was honored to call Tom my friend. Whether is was fishing, boating, neighborhood get together, or small party, Tom was the indispensable ingredient. His love of Thelma, his children and Grandchildren was a beautiful example of "the family man". I will miss his laugh, smile and powerful presence. Thelma, I pray that the peace of Christ, that defies understanding, surrounds you and your family. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was fortunate to reconnect with Tom after 25 yrs. We were always good friends and I enjoyed his company when we would be involved in boat operations. He will be missed
