I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as the comfort found in God's word the bible. Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more."

I knew Tom in college. He was my dear friend, Julia's, older brother. Of course I had a crush on him! He was adorable and funny and Julia and I both hung around his fraternity just a little(!) bit. I am so sorry this world has lost such a kind and decent human being. My heart goes out to his family. XOXO

Although I haven't spoke to Tom ( and Jane) in several years his passing really saddened me. He was such a great person and I have so many fond memories with Tom both at University of Wisconsin and on a few road trips across the country to New York and Colorado. He was in my wedding party and I was at his wedding. I have a few stories of my times with Tom but my favorite one that was telling of Tom's character, was after hiking in the mountains of Colorado , I got altitude sickness had to postpone my hiking and Tom stopped with me and went out to get some food to make me feel better and brought back hamburgers . I ate them and felt better! Sometimes a good caregiver/friend trumps the medicine and Tom was always that person . I'll really miss you Tom and my heart goes out to Jane and your entire growing family.

My childhood "besty" - Tom, you always had my back and made sure we were having fun no matter what - no matter where we went and what came next. Cheerios and Saturday morning cartoons (Casper the Friendly Ghost!) - driving home from Madison to your mix tape of Elvis Costello and Linda Rondstadt - scoping out the neighborhood garage sales - these are my precious memories of you, my sweet brother. I miss you!! <3 Julie
