So sorry for this family's loss. I can't even describe what kind of a person Tom was. Tom would give you the shirt off his back. I'm so glad I was able to take our last road trip together to Colorado. 35+ years of friendship can never be 💔 broken. RIP TOM. My best friend. Till I see you again. Love you. Too many memories to share.

My deepest Sympathy to Tommy's sons, friends and to his wonderful friend Tracy. They had an undeniable trust, love, and support friendship. In my eyes, Tommy was a Gentle Giant. Never judging, always forgiving ... just taken to soon for those that loved him.

RIP. So glad we reconnected after all those years. Remembering all the Wednesdays and Fridays at Young Life, Campaigners, New Life Singers ond oh the times we would fit as many people as we could in the car to go to the old 202 Drive-In. And a bite to eat at the Birmingham Grill. THEN we settled for breakfast meets in Chadds Ford. Those times will always be treasured and remembered. The otherside of the rainbow is waiting to meet you with open paws and so much more. Always, Susie
