We were surprised and saddened when we saw Tom's obituary in the Register yesterday. We are so sorry for your loss. We had some good times and visits with Tom and have missed him since he moved. We are sending a memorial to the Big Creek Historical Society to honor his work there for so many years.

Tom, you always lit up the room when you walked in to Brookwood in Georgetown to volunteer. Everyone knew they were in for smiles and laughter and good natured teasing. Two days a week at two different campuses you lifted spirits and hearts as you affirmed Gods love and mercy. My son, Jason, will miss you terribly as you were his buddy there for many years. You leave a Texas-sized hole in all our hearts!
