Like the sticker you placed on my dash: "I love you more and more each day."

I am so very sorry to hear this, we had great time driving at the racetrack. Tom made me laugh as hard as anyone I've ever met and I couldn't wait until beers at the end of the track day when the stories and fun would really begin. I'm sorry for Tom’s family that the holiday season will be burdened with the grief of his passing, but always know that Tom left an impression on everyone he ever met - and few people can make that claim. I never see a blue WRX without it bringing a smile (and thoughts of a Port a Potty near miss) to my face. John Carpenter

Tom was a great co worker. He was one of the few reasons I have ever had for looking forward to going to work. You just never knew hat he was going to come up with next. Go easy Bro...Bill

Dear Cousin Thomas...so many memories from our childhood...especially Christimas time, when Aunt Joan was with us and our families would get together and do the crazy cousin gift swap. And then the years after, when you and Sean would stay the summers at our house in Point Pleasant... you definitely livened up the house and made us all laugh a bit harder. I haven't seen you in many, many years but it sounds like you made a wonderful life on the west coast and finally in Hawaii. My heart goes out to your family, friends and partner Larry. Rest in peace. Much love...Cousin Veronica

Veronica, Thank you so much for the note and nice thoughts. I fondly remember the mayhem of the family get-togethers, it seemed kids were everywhere. Love, Brian

Standing at the ocean shore before sunrise this morning and watching the Earth's shadow overtake the light of the moon I was thinking of you, Thomas. We all love you too, little brother. You will be missed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtvB-C6ksu8

I could fill a book with adjectives describing Tom. My heart is full of memories of time spent, stories told, and laughter shared. One thing I really miss are the silly nonsense texts we would exchange. I've gotten some pretty wild pictures from out of the blue! Tom, I will miss you forever. I love you

It's true he loved life, had a passion for it. It was intoxicating. I me Tom at the Encore in the early 90's. He actually ran after me in that big old car of his. We've been friends ever since. We fought, laughed, cried. I've never seen any one heal is heart. He won't ever have to repeat, he learned what he came to learn. I hope everyone can say that, when it's our turn. My turn. I'm glad he went to my islands. It gave him everything, for that I'm very happy. So to my first and long time friend, I say ALOHA, ALOHA OI, ALOHA PAU OLE.

I will love and cherish you forever. You helped me remember the fun side of life when things were hectic. I always enjoyed your humor and love for life. Your good nature was a lesson for all of us and you will be missed every day. I will visit again and post my fond memories like you playing soccer at 15 in Seattle in the cold rain and going to your school conferences and many, many more wonderful memories. Thank you Tom for being in our lives! Love Lisa
