Question: I hope that it's okay to ask this...........But was Tom named after the famous Englishman "St Thomas More" or was More a family name?

Tom was one of my favorite frat brothers back at WSU. We all loved him. Such a talented and funny guy. Great cook too. He cooked for us on the weekends when our official cook had the days off. A great music lover..........especially the Beatles. A very talented artist too. We had so many good times. Thx for the memories TK. We all miss you. Take care Bro.

I would like to share my familie's condolences with the Kohler family. Over the last few years we have gotten to know Tom, Mike and Jerry. They made a positive impact on our family! Tom was always so kind and showed interest in what the kids were sharing with him. He was always smiling when we saw him and we will remember the stories about them growing up in Browns Point. After hearing the stories about their mother, I wish I had known her!
Rest In Peace,
The Beach Family

At Bellarmine we nicknamed him "Beat" while working with Thomas on the Cage yearbook. He was an outstanding gifted photographer and a super nice guy. Rest in peace fellow Lion.

Never knew much about Tom as his life took a different turn after graduation from Bellarmine than mine. Always remember Tom fondly, especially during the 8 years we spent together at St. Leo's. I remember his sense of humor, and the time Sister Helen St. Clare asked us, "What would life be like if all the cars in America were pink?", and Tom never missed a beat as he quipped, "We'd have a pink-car-nation!" Lot's of great memories of Tom and those times; he was genuinely good guy and friend. My condolences to Tom's family and friends.

You will be missed dear Tom, thank you for sharing your love of culinary arts with us! The beautiful photos always in your office, your love for Japan and hearing you speak Japanese were such a inspiration to me. Always loved visiting with you and hearing how you cooked for your Dad and cared so much about others. I know you are enjoying peace and beauty with our Lord.

I will miss Tom's great smile. He was such a joy to talk with and he was always willing to share his passion for photography. He had a great eye for beauty. Bye Tom.

We want to offer our sincere condolences to the Kohler Family. Our memories of Tom was one of living life to the fullest, always keeping his classmates in a laughing state. We attended St. Leo's school with him, his brother Michael and sister Ellen. We also remember your father, Dr. Kohler (delivered a couple of us) and of course your beautiful Mother. May God watch over Tom and all of you during this difficult time. The Garitano's
