Tom, your smirk and your joking will be missed. Your personal struggle and reaching a huge goal will always be a source of pride for all who knew you. Rest In Peace dear friend. You will be missed. Steve and Lynn
Tom will be missed dearly. Since we met he became my closest friend in the area and someone I could always talk to. We had a lot in common and could share literally anything that we needed to with each other. Tom had a unique way of seeing things. He always told me, whenever I was struggling with something, “It is what it is”. I’ll miss our conversations about life with him in the tree swing and me sitting at the vase of the maple in the yard. Rest in peace my friend. Deb, be sure we are here for you.
Deb, I’m so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. Dale & Nugget
Deb, so sorry to hear of Tom’s death. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you!
Tom was one of my very best and closest boyhood friends. His Mom and Dad were heart of the earth people and close too with my parents. Mr. Tremblay (Edgar) instructed Scout merit badges and Sally, Tom and Jane’s Mom often drove my mother to her chemo appointments when needed. Real small town friendships. A truly wonderful family. We went to grade school together, enjoyed Boy Scouts and summer camps, and skiing at Mad River. As happens in life, our adult paths headed in different directions. But when, on occasion, we would meet at local markets, he always had that wonderful friendly smile and we would get caught up as if we were still waiting for the next merit badge meeting or next chair-lift ride. Paths diverge but, I suspect, so will they meet again.
Deb, I’m so so so sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. I think of both of you often and our time at National Life. Many good memories. I can still see Tom coming to your cubical to see you. I’ll never forget the time I wore his Navy Uniform for out YMCA halloween party and the National Life Christmas parties. I miss you dearly Deb and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Someday we have to have a “Rewrite” reunion. Love to you and all the Family. Becky & George Diedrich
