Tom was a true friend and a good man.
I don’t know where to begin ,after being Tom’s next door neighbor for decades I still cannot grasp the fact that Tom is not here anymore ,It seems like a bad dream ,It was a friendship that I will remember till the end of my days.I always bragged that if one were to design a neighbor Tom would be that person ,I will miss the phone calls that Tom started out asking if this was his noisy neighbor to the north ,neighbor helping neighbor, tho we did agree not to help each other felling trees after tipping a tree onto his garage and another one onto my porch .many ,many good memories ,Our prayers are with you Brenda and Gracen
Just started to get to know Tom the last few years at Albany Pioneer Days. Really enjoyed busting each other’s chops. Wish I could have been able to get to know him even better. He will be missed by all, especially the Albany family. My sincerest condolences to his family.
Brenda and Gracen,
We are so sorry to hear about Tom passing. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers that you find peace and comfort in your memories.
Mike and Brenda Groseclose.
RIP buddy
Your the best
Brenda and Gracen our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Tom started out as my boss at Telcom Construction in 2015. Continued as a true friend. After he moved on ,we would always spend time on the phone before work talking politics,work and life in general. He was part of a group of friends that came out to my place and cut down 53 trees in a day.
He was that kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back
RIP my friend
Brenda and daughter, we are so sad to hear this. You both have an angel 😇 watching over you now and he will always be with you. RIP Tom, be happy in Gods kingdom.

We are utterly devastated and so sorry to learn of Tom’s passing. He was a great man. Hoping that the memories you have of him provide some comfort to both of you. May he rest in peace and the perpetual light shine upon him.
Brenda, Gracen, and Family, our deepest sympathy on Tom’s passing. We have holding you in our thoughts and prayers and are re-living all the fun times we shared over the years. This sudden and tragic loss is not the end; it is the beginning!
God bless!
Brenda and Gracen,
My most sincere thoughts are with you both. Tom was very special, as I truly valued his friendship.
May Tom Rest In Peace.

I did not know Tom but know his beautiful and caring daughter. He would be so very proud of his daughter, Gracen and her career path to help others as a physical therapist. It is obvious that the love and nurturing both Tom and Brenda provided Gracen was pivotal to her present success and career path. My heart is sad for Gracen and her family. May your happy memories last forever. We all are here but a twinkle yet each generation keeps a light the person in thought, memory and words. I have no doubt, Brenda, Gracen and their family & friends will cherish their given time with Tom. Blessing to the family at this most difficult time.
