You were a tough nut to crack – but once I did I was often amazed at what I found inside. It's been many years, but I still fondly think about our friendship. I was shocked to hear of your death. So many family and friends and so much to live for.  I will always remember Panasonic and the Streak. Hopefully you have found your “hole in one”.  Karen

So sorry to hear about Thom's passing. Thom was my Manager while working at Panasonic. Great memories ... learned a lot from him.

Gone too soon are the first words that come to mind when I learned the news of Thom's passing.  It truly was a priveledge to work with Thom for over five years at Leo Burnett.  He was the ultimate professional and never waivered in doing what was right.  Thom brought a dry humor and strong work ethic to the office and motivated others to do the same.

Although I did not get to meet his family, he spoke about them with affections and I'm confident he was as much fun to be around at home as he was in the office.  My sincerest best wishes for his wife and relatives in the days ahead.  Rest assured, Thom will be missed and will be remembered for he touched many lives in a positive manner.

Uncle Thom,

Words cannot express how much you mean to us all.  I speak on behalf of all of your nieces and nephews when I say that we are so blessed to have had you in our lives.  You were more than just an uncle to us.  You were a supportive, loving, father-figure and papa.  Thank you for being everything we needed, exactly when we needed it.  We love you so much, and we are so proud to call you our uncle.

Love always,
Nikki

Dear Tom -

May the road rise to meet you.  May the wind be always at your bank.  May the sun shine warm upon your face.  May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of his hand.

Love ya, Aunt Marilyn

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dearest Uncle Thom,

Thank you for being so kind and making me feel welcome when I first became part of the family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, for lending a helping hand, for comforting me when times got rough, and for being the funny Uncle Thom we all grew to love. I am deeply saddened that I won't get to see you upstairs watching NCIS or the cubs game or playing with Shane and Tifannie anymore. But I will forever cherish all the memories I have with you. I love you so very much Uncle Thom...

Love Always, Twinkle

Dearest Uncle Thom,

Thank you for being so kind and making me feel welcome when I first became part of the family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, for lending a helping hand, for comforting me when times got rough and for just being the funny Uncle Thom we all grew to love.

I will forever cherish the memories I have with you. I love you so very much...

Love Always, Twinkle

Words cannot describe how much we will miss you, Uncle Thom. I will never forget how you taught me how to bake some of your favorite things or when you let me help in making some of the foods for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You were always so easy to talk to and I could tell that you truly cared about all of us. I will cherish those memories, along with many other, for the rest of my life. I love and miss you, Uncle Thom. 

All my love, Allison

Dear Thom, you were a good brother and I hope you are at peace. I will always love you and miss you. Jim.

Uncle Thom, you really were more like a father to me, my wife, my sister, and brother. You were the best Grandpa Shane and Tifannie could ever wish for, And of course a great Husband to Auntie. I wish I could just see you in the backyard grilling while listening to the ball game one last time! I'm sure you will be able to do that once again in Heaven! God Bless you Uncle Thom, Love Sean.

My dearest Brother, You and Carman saved my life! I love and cheerish all you have taught me and shared with me. Rest easy now big brother. Hit em long and straight. I love you.  Michael
