Share your Memorial with Family & Friends

Dear Judy , I'm so sorry you've lost your life partner. Tom was a great guy & after reading about his many & varied interests I wish I'd made the effort to know him better. He always seemed shy when we served together on the Consistory at 2nd Reformed but perhaps he saw me the same way. I do remember a round of golf we shared at MCC arranged by George Arwady following Anna Mae's death in 1991. Brilliant sunshine & good fellowship, great time together! Tom was gifted and kind. Please know you and your family are in my prayers. Love, Chuck

"So long, its been good to know ya,.....".Tom loved music and he taught me to love it too. In fact, he taught me a whole lot of other things too. He was my lifetime mentor, advisor, confidant, father figure and best friend. I hope you are in a better place now as you sail away or fly off into the wild blue yonder - whatever floats your boat!. Thank you Big Brother. I have loved you to the moon and back. Hubs
