Tommy, Can't believe 6 years have gone by. I still smile thinking back on the years me, you, Mark, and John would hang out at Spoons or El Torritos.........or the classic Time Machine. All the great workouts and helping you teach. And not to forget the cold beers!
Miss you Tom!

Well my friend Tommy, it's been 5 years since you left us. I think of you often. So many great memories of sweating it out in karate class workouts with the only thing being dry was the tips of my belt. All the times of going to the Time Machine in Escondido. You would get Mark and I in back before we were 21 years old. What great times! Great to see all the pictures that your family posted. You always had the shortest shorts on Tommy! :)

Sensei Tom...So shocked to hear of your passing.My sincere prayers to your family.You were a wonderful person to all.You inspired me in your martial art spirit,gentle yet powerful.I became a Sensei because of your training,and enjoyed teaching at the Vista Boys and Girls club as you did for many great years.You are a legend that will live on in my heart for eternity.God speed my friend.Sensei Randy R.Langowski California

I was about 13 Years old when I Meet Sensei Tom At the Boy's and Girls club of Vista.  He was a wonderful man.   My life revolves around Martial Arts and had it not been for Sensei Tom I would not be where i am today.  He touched many lives like myself who turned our lives for the best.  Thank you Sensei Tom.  In my Heart you will never be forgotten.  With all my heart.

Condolences to Tom's family and friends.  I enjoyed time spent working on electric standards with Tom and will miss his warm attitude.

I met Tom when I was in 9th grade (1974-75) and immediately became enamored with his infectious positive attitude and kindness. He was a friend I could always count on and my family loved him as well. He served as an usher in my older sister's wedding and we are all deeply saddened by his passing. My sincere condolences to all of his friends and family during this difficult time of his loss. Rest in peace Tom Quigley. <3

I first met Tom around 1979 as he became my karate instructor. We soon became friends and had many good times at tournaments and just hanging out. Tom had a huge heart and would do anything for a friend in need. He will be deeply missed by many.

To the Quigley family, While I only knew Tom through several years of our working together, I always thought of Tom as a dedicated, honest and generous person and I am very glad that our paths crossed.  Peace to Tom and his family.

Heartfelt prayers and condolences to Tom's family and friends. Sad to learn we won't see Tom again but hopeful someday to join him in eternity. Tom, my friend, you were missed at our 40th class reunion, and thought of warmly and with fondness. Mona, momma and I and Vicki send you prayers for peace and huge hugs and love. We are so sorry for your loss. God Bless

I have known Tom for many years through the electrical industry & will miss him greatly.  He was always a gentleman- extremely helpful & understanding in a sometimes difficult industry. He will be missed. I pray for peace & grace for his loved ones.
Sincerely, Janet Price

Tom, you were such a dear friend during our time in choir and Meistersingers at VHS.  Your infectious smile brightened our every day.  The memories that we created then will last until we meet again.  You will be truly missed but never forgotten.  Love you my friend.

I first met Tom back in 1982. He was my two older sons and mine too, karate instructor, along with Mark Novachik(sp),and Dennis Peters. We maintained Soul connected throughout our lives. I am deeply saddened while looking through the UT and saw his picture and obit. We both believed in UFO's and other unexplained happenings. I will post the pictures that I have from Fallbrook Community Center where Tom taught. My thoughts, heart felt love and prayers are with all of Tommy's loved ones. He is now one of our Guardian Angels and we will see one another again.
