I pray that Tom's death is not forgotten but honored each an every year as the springboard for the Men's Rights Movement just as Rosa Parks did for the Civil Rights Movement. May he live on as a hero and a champion for this cause.

Tom is a martyr and a hero to the millions of men who have suffered as he did. To his children: forgive him and love him, as he loved you.
