I had the pleasure to know Tom during our time at the L.A. Times. Telling you what a great guy he was would be like preaching to the choir. He was a good friend and I am a better person for knowing him. My prayers and comforting wishes go out to his wife and children. Let me leave you with these words of solace " to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die...." Tom still lives in all of us, and remembering him honors him.

Daddy... I still can't believe you are gone. I wish I could open my eyes and this was all a dream. I love and miss you with every ounce of my being. You were an amazing Daddy.. As I always told you, "the best Daddy in the world" and you always would deny it.. you never had to try, you just were. I love you Daddy!

Tommie, thanks for being a friend. Your down-to-earth view of life, your wisdom, and your rare sense of humor will endure in my memory for years to come. You were truly one of a kind. Rest well, T.

Dear Jeannette,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. My heart aches for you at the passing of Tom. Knowing that Tom was a second father to Ronnie deepens that ache, but what a legacy he has left! All my love and condolences to you, Diana

Tom, You and your family will always be a special memory of my childhood growing up on Buckingham St. in California. I loved spending the nights on the weekends. You let us watch scarry late night movies and took us to In-n-Out Burgers all of us in that little car of yours. So much fun and fond memories with your family. I will never forget your kind and loving heart. I will never forget you. Love Always Lori Wendt-Robertson

Dear Jeannette, and family, I am so sorry you lost Uncle Tommie. He was a good man. He was so kind to me when I was young. He always made me laugh and I loved going on the dune buggy with him, he loved scaring me on that too. He is with Daddy now.Thinking of you all. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Love, Bill Alan
