Thom was one of those special people, who truly left a lasting effect on me. I met him in 1994, when he was my English instructor at Verde Valley School, in Sedona Arizona. We stayed in touch, and I visited him several times in San Diego. I would give him feedback on his latest writings, and he would proof read my college papers. I love him dearly, and he will always be in my heart and mind. Much love to the family, and his dear partner Paco. - Curtis Clay
Keith and I will truly miss Tom's friendship and will cherish the memories and love always. Tom was one of Keith's dearest friends and will be greatly missed . Prayers to Paco and the family
Tom was my Double First Cousin and nephew. His mother Mildred and my mother Eunice were sisters and his father Sam and my father Albert were brothers. Then when his mom died, his dad married my half sister Jean so Tom then also became my nephew.
Tom and I were a year and a half apart and together for all holidays since we were related on both sides. We were best friends as kids and continued to be as adults til life moved us in different directions. I especially loved when Tom shared his favorite music with me as kids. I remember Porgy and Bess where he loved to act out the part of Porgy to my Bess. He would get on his knees singing, “Bess you is my woman now. You is, You is my woman now.” made me laugh and laugh. He loved to make me laugh. He had a wonderful sence of humor his whole life long.
I may have been his biggest fan. I adored his playing the piano. He loved my adoration. Anytime he introduced me to someone new he would just say “piano” and I would splurt out excitedly what a wonderful piano player he was. He would have to stop me from going on and on. We had a very special, very close friendship which I will always treasure, always remember. I do believe his joyful energy will be with me always. I love you Tom.
