Dear Joyce Goody,and Amber,
At this sad time I know words are insufficient. We all want to turn back the clock of time and demand a different outcome. Ken and I are glad we were able to meet Tom. And I see from the photo posted that Zach looks like his Dad more than I realized. I showed Cody the picture posted on this site and he said,"He looks just like Goody." Our hearts are with you.

-Judy Ken and Cody Redding

The rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the rose; The moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare; Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair; The sunshine is a glorious birth; But yet I know, where'er I go, That there hath past away a glory from the earth.
-William Wordworth

Joyce and family,
Tom was a wonderful classmate. I will always remember his smile and his quiet and gentle personality. I so enjoyed catching up with him at or 40th class reunion at The Dome in Fort Plain, August 2012. I am so sad that he was taken so early from you. So sorry for your family's loss. With deepest sympathy,

I had worked in the past with Tom and always appreciated his practical ways. He could boil down a problem to its root cause and tell you how to fix it. He will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to his family.

You wouldn't know me if I stood in line. I have known you and your family for close to ten years. Your husband/dad spoke of you often. I know about your activities, vacations and accomplishments. Each word Tom spoke was with great pride and LOVE.He was my nightly ‘Y' buddy. I nicknamed him my “Knolls” friend. We otherwise were anonymous to each other. I am saddened and shocked to learn of his passing. I will miss his GIANT smile and nightly greetings after work. My sincere condolences

Tom, You were not only my cousin, you were more like a brother and best friend to me growing up in Fort Plain and I will miss you always. Will always remember the good times we had and you were my go-to person when I needed help or support during our high school years. From those early days in Fort Plain our lives sort of followed the same path. We started and graduated from Hudson Valley Community College at the same time, both went to work for GE, and then we both settled in Glenville to raise our families. I always enjoyed getting together for our family picnics and Holiday meals and always counted on you to remember all the details of our times growing up that I usually forgot. You will be in my prayers forever.

Joyce, Zach & Amber our thoughts & prayers are with you. Tom had a positive impact on so may lives. He made a difference - family, cross country, boy scouts, work, friends. We will miss him.

As his manager and coworker, I was honored to know Tom and work with him every day. Two words come to mind when I think of Tom - integrity and reliability. When Tom had a job to do or when something would come up he would know what to do, it would be the right thing, and he would get it done. He had a gift for making everyone around him better. As a friend, I enjoyed his pleasant nature and will miss sharing stories about family, vacations, and the kids. My deepest condolences go to the family as I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers to Toms family. I worked with him and he was a down to earth, caring, and always would say hello. We chatted often about my upcoming wedding and he talked very highly of his kids and family. It's still a shock that such a great guy was taken too soon. God bless the family.

Tom will be sorely missed by myself as friend and co-worker. Tom was always eager to help in any way he could. He was diligent and very persistent in getting things accomplished. He had many collateral duties throughout KAPL due to his experience and willingness to support. I will be extremely difficult finding someone to fill Tom's position. I offer you my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Joyce and Candy--Our sympathies to you and your families. Tommy was one of our favorite people. We enjoyed a great visit with Joyce and Tommy about 2 years ago when they stopped here. We send our love and prayers to all of you. Carol and Fabian
