Thom and I were friends Since our DeAnza days back in the early 1970’s when we were also roommates. We rediscovered each other many years later and reignited our friendship. He helped me in my art gallery in Santana Row in San Jose. He has a great work ethic.  I moved to Portland in 2005 and we lost touch. I was searching for him online when sadly, I found his obituary. I am so sad about his passing
