Largura Boys,
Your dad and I were good friends in the college, post college days, and after. Although I hadn't been in Jacksonville for 10 years to see him we talked occasionally by phone and kept in touch through our friend Wayne Hawrys. Your dad was a great guy and friend to me and although we didn't keep in touch so well He will be missed!
Love you Tom, until we meet again!

I am deeply saddened to learn of Tom’s death. I didn’t learn until after the service. My love and sympathy to Margie, the boys and girls, family and friends.
I want to post a few words here as I may have related in private talks with each of you and as if I were standing before all of you in eulogy for our Tom.
It is difficult in a few words to capture all of Tom. I see his smile (somewhat sly) and, of course, the gray streak. At first I immediately think about the many laughs we shared, the fun (and often wild) times. Some best unpublished.
Yes, Tom was a lot of fun. He was always in motion. He loved life. But he was much more too. He cared about people – friends, family, and strangers. He cared for us.
I cannot remember Tom ever having an unkind word to say about anyone. I have been fortunate to know some truly special people. The older I get the more I realize, though, how few there really are. Tom was one of those rare people.
Tom poured himself into everything (maybe too much at times) with intensity. He worked hard and acquired wealth, but he never pretended to be better than anyone. Tom wasn’t about Tom.
Tom knew he was blessed with true wealth: his loving family and friends. Margie, the boys, Margie’s daughters, Nancy, Tom’s brothers, and the rest of his family and friends. Tom loved us all, and we all loved him. I want the children (Tony, Nick, and Joe – and I’ll include here too Josie and Jackie) to know as they grow through their lives that their father was a rare person whom they should always be proud to emulate.
I remember an old Native American Indian epitaph to the effect that “I am not gone, I am the wind, the rain, the warmth of the sun; I am still here, all around you.” Tom touched me, and he touched all of us. He is still here. Some of him is in each of us and will continue. We are lucky.
Still, I have a hole in my heart. I have lost a dear friend. I loved Tom; I love him still. I always will.

To the Largura family, friends & loved ones, we are so very sorry for your loss. Boys, your dad will always be in our hearts with memories of great adventures. Once I said, " Tom, this is a trip of a lifetime!" and his quick reply was..."It doesn't have to be." and on we went.
What a mark he left on the Jacksonville area (with Superior bridges and overpasses) so vital to the area. These are true landmarks.
His generosity, humor, sharp wit, business skills (the art of closing the deal), his love of music, travel & so much more will be missed by so many.
Thomas, we will miss you. Sending our caring thoughts to all, Wayne & Cindy Hawrys, Nashville, Indiana

"I'm so sorry I didn't learn about Tom's death until after he was buried.
We hadn't seen each other or talked in 11 years. But he was my best friend from way back and picked me for best man at his wedding.
What to say about Tom ? I'll say this. He was an exceptional person. There was never anyone like him and there never will be. He lived life to the fullest. He was larger than life in many ways.
I miss him and am very sorry that we never had a chance to talk about old times. I could try and document some of our adventures , but no one would believe it!
God bless and ALOHA

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Tom for the past 18 years and working with him for 9 of those. He was a great business man as well as a terrific family man. I extend my condolences to his children and all of his family and friends that have been left behind to grieve. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My memories of Tom, always on or in the water, began in Indiana and continued in Florida, where I last saw him. He was on a large, amazing fishing vessel, and I was at a reggae thing in St. Augustine some 11 years back. I got on board, and he gave me a ride on his boat--once again. He'll always have a place in my heart.

My deepest Sympathy to the Largura Family. I enjoyed a few days at BayCrest while my son David and his Amy were there. I missed meeting Tom by minutes as I flew back to Florida. I hated not ever getting to meet him personally; for one reason, David and Amy thought so much of him and another reason is that I lost my husband (age 56) and oldest son (age 43) to Alpha-I. May your memories sustain you ......Mimi Withers

It is rare to meet a man who is loved by everyone who knows him. Tom was this amazing man. His heart was huge with love for his boys, the beach, friends and all things Reggae. It showed in everything he did. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Our condolences to the boys who were the love of his life.
February 17, 2010
Our deepest sympathies are with all of Tom's family and friends. He was truly a one of a kind person and we were grateful to have crossed paths with him in this lifetime. May he rest in peace and may God be with all of you during this difficult time.

Marge,Nick,Tony and Joe - Tom was one of the finest men I ever known. He lived his live as saw fit, bigger and better than all of us could dream. Though always will be missed, he will always be with you. How lucky we are all and should never forget the Reggae Parties on the Beach! He would be sad if we did not carry on and Be Happy.

There are no words to express the loss that Amy and I feel. We spent three wonderful years at BayCrest running the Cool Runnings and we know the love that Tom had for the Island of Hope Town in the Bahamas. Tom you will be missed but NEVER forgotten! Enjoy the Islands from above and Breath restfully!
All Our Love,
Dave and Amy Withers

Someone once told me several years ago that working at Superior was being part of the Superior family. Crediting Tom, his vision and personality, the Superior family warmth is no less true today than it was then. I extend my prayers and sincerest condolences to ALL the Superior family. Tom will be dearly missed.

Nancy:
What a lucky man Tom was to have you in his life! He certainly knew how to show his friends a wonderful time. I will always laugh when I recall introducing Tom to Bill Whitmire at one of our many Daiquiri Parties...Tom couldn't get over that Bill drove his own boat! Call on me if I can help in anyway. You and his family are in our prayers.
