Tom was a special assembler on the softail line when we worked together and he could always make me smile just because I never knew what he was going to say when he came walking down the line. Tonya I can not imagine the depth of your sorrow but because Tom was such a good man take comfort in knowing that he has his angel wings and is at peace. -Jodi Moore

My dear cousin,
I have many childhood memories. You were a vibrant young man. Full of life and laughter and always lit up a room when you entered.
You had talents that many young men could only dream about. I am so sorry you are gone now but we take the LOVE with us when we go. I didn't know you into our adult lives and I am sure you carried on that glorious personality I remember. I love ya...and My condolences to your beautiful family.
Love Wees

Sad to hear of Tom's passing. That man loved to talk about his dogs,we had many conversations about them. He was a rough and gruff kind of guy and that's what I liked about him. He also was never one to not voice his valid distaste of the rapid decline of corporate integrity and lack of commitment to the "little man" who truly carries a company and lines their pockets. So sorry he didn't get to enjoy his retirement for a longer amount of time. I will remember him fondly
