Tom, you are one of my "mentors", in bridge but more importantly, in how to comport oneself in life. I much admired your way of calmly assessing situations and coming to logical conclusions. I very much value the time we had together here in Lompoc.  Don

Tom.... I'll always remember how I admired your ability to evaluate
a situation and find the solution. You were a very special gift to
the world.  Dr. Tom

  You were a shining example of how to live a life, with calmness, grace, and dignity.  It was my great honor to be a small part of your life.  Gale was your perfect partner, and dearest Gale,  my love and condolences

Tom, when I think of you, I think of how your face looked when you looked at Gale.  Your face showed your great love for her and it touched my heart. I loved your patience and kindness, intellect and humor. You were a great example to us all.  I only knew you a few short years, but you touched my heart. Gale, my love and sincere condolences on the loss of your wonderful husband.

Tom, I met you not in person, but through your book, How Do You Know You Are Right?  We shared much in the way of philosophical beliefs and values, and I'd like to thank you again for writing the book. I know it was very important to you, and I'm glad you got to finish it.
