Tom was our next door neighbor for many years. He had a dynamic personality and was always there to lend a helping hand. He was truly a "great neighbor" and he will definitely be missed.

With our deepest sympathy,
Nate & Pat Shelton

I first met Tom in the late 1990's while working at GTE in Thornton. It was then we found out the we were both from the Chicago area so we shared  similar backgrounds and were fans of the Cubs & Bears, Tom soon moved on to Time Warner Telecom and I followed shortly thereafter. It was there that we began a friendship that would last a lifetime. Tom first invited me to play golf at Littleton Golf/Tennis and it turned out that golf was the glue that kept us together as we each went on different career paths. That plus us being both born in September which meant we would always celebrate our days with at least a Virgo Golf Outing. Yet we became more than that and became best friends. Tom ended up selling me the house I live in and then years later, the car I drive.
One of his favorite outings was to attend the Golf Expo every year. Once the new year came, the countdown began as the show was in February and he was like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. His excitement was contagious and it finally dawned on me that Tom being a salesman at his core, attending a show staffed by golf sales people was like hitting the jackpot. I will miss that excitement next year.
Tom was very proud of his kids and grandchildren. Many of his phone calls began with "Donnie, let me tell you what my grandchild just did" and off he would go, sharing their accomplishment with me. And by the way, he and my oldest brother are the only ones who called me Donnie.
We shared many outings and memories together. He was the first to call when the Cubs won the world series and more recently when the Nuggets won and who would have ever thought we would see that in our lifetimes!
Tom was a very kind and generous man and I will miss him dearly.

So Carr family, when the holidays or special events arise and call for prime rib to be served, make sure that you follow his method of preparing it because that may be what he was most proud of!

I will miss him greatly.

TOM was a friend of my brother Bob. He was also in Scouts with him as was I. His Dad was the Scout leader. Many fond memories.  May he rest in piece.

So sorry to read this news report . I have known Tom since 1st grade and was over to his house several times. We lost touch after St.Mary's but newver forgot him.
