“Tom was a wonderful friend for over 20 years. I talked to him often over the years and got to know his big heart and compassion for his friends and family. The happiest day I can remember for him was the first day he held his grandson. I'm blessed to have known him and I will miss him very much. My sympathies and condolences to you all. - Jim Brown”

Richard Weber wrote a sympathy message

“Tom influenced my life for two decades. Even when we had long stretches of time without the chance to talk, I could still hear his voice, feel the warmth of his laughter. He had a singular ability to make others feel better about things. Whatever those things might be. May the sure and certain knowledge that it is never "Goodbye," only "See you later," hasten the day when those who love him find that their memories of love and joyful connection outweigh the terrible pain of loss. - Richard Weber”
