    Dear Opal,
    I am so very sorry for your loss. Tom was a special man and truly a gentle giant in every sense of the word. He was such a kind and caring person. I am going to miss him so much. In his generous giving spirit, Toms death brings life to others. I know how proud he would be to know he was helping someone else. Rest peacefully dear friend as I know you are safe and out of pain!

    Opal, I’m so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. He was a dear friend of mine and he will be sorely missed by me and all who knew him. I will always hold on to the memories and laughs we shared working together at the law enforcement center where we first met. May he rest in peace and pain free and may God bless you as you get through your loss!

    Opal,
    I met Tom when I was changing lightbulbs at KU. I learned so much from him about arcane musical genres and he was the first person to show me The Far Side cartoons. He was a funny, smart and good guy. I always enjoyed chatting with him when I was doing work at Learned. lost touch with him after time and I regret that. I am sorry for the loss you have experienced. Kindest Regards.
