I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.  My condolences go out to Gloria and Tom's family and his sister Kathy. Tom and I met playing baseball and our friendship grew to being really good friends throughout our high school years.  We had a lot of fun and got to know each others family really good.  Tom was a gentle, shy person, who did not let his speech issues hold him back.  We lost touch with each other for years until bumping into each other at the International Hunting and Fishing Expo.  We got caught up with each others lives since high school.  My memories of Tom brings nothing but joy and I cherish the friendship we had.

Paul, a very touching tribute!

That is a beautiful obituary and very sincere and touching friends' comments.  I did not know Tom well in high school but do remember him as quiet and shy.  He obviously touched many lives and I'm sure will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him. My sincere condolences to his friends and family.

Ralph Petersen

My sister called me to tell me of Tom’s passing. We played baseball together from little league thru high school and legion. I was always happy when I got home to see Tom’s bike on the front lawn and then we would do what young teens would do—eat, watch TV, take a run past the Meister way girls houses. Tom was my best man when I married. Tom, I know we’ll meet again in Dodger Blue in that stadium in the sky. My condolences and LOVE to Tom’s wife, family members and his sister—Kathy. Love always, Ralph.

Tom was was a childhood friend, starting with elementary school, who lived just a few doors down the street.  Memories have faded as the years have passed but I still remember playing catch with Tom in his driveway.  He loved baseball.  We lost touch over the years but it's nice to hear that he lived a good and succesful life.  Sad to hear of yet another classmate passing.  My condolences to his friends and family.

Bob Goulding  Tom and I played high school and American Legion together we were really good friends, he was a outstanding pitcher. Out of high school we kind of went our separate ways but in the last couple of years we got back in touch. I got him to attend our 55th high school reunion his only one he had attended he said he really enjoyed the reunion and was sorry he hadn"t attended the other reunions in the past. I thank his wife Gloria for getting Tom to attend. Tom will be missed but not forgotten rest in peace my good friend. My condolences to the family. .

I was so sorry to hear about Toms passing.  My thoughts go out to Gloria, his family and sister Kathy.  Tom was a long time school friend starting at Theodore Judah.  We played Little League together on the back diamond when we were in the sixth grade.  During our High School years I would stop at Tom's house on the way home to hang out.  Both of Tom's parents worked so we had the house to ourselves, always give Kathy and her friends a hard time.   I have always remembered and cherished  those fun carefree idle days.   After years of trying we finally got Tom to attend our last class renuion.   I was so glad to be able to visit with him and Gloria reliving some of our great past memories.

My thoughts and prayers to his family, Kathy and friends.
