The Song of Solomon says
” I have found the one my heart loves…”
I too found the one my heart loves when I met my Beloved Tom, my Beloved Boaz. The love we shared brought me to another level of joy, another level of life. We built a life that has meant more to me than anything in this world, but there nwere many more dreams and hopes that were not fulfilled. 
I don’t know why my beloved had to endure so much suffering. 
I don’t know why my beloved died.
But I do know that God is good.
Te amo mi Corazon 


The thing I remember about Tom was when we would have praise time at my home, we would just randomly  start singing and I would put chords together on my keyboard, and just worshiping and he came up with the words and it was so anointed. We never recorded it but when we were finished praising, we were just in heaven it was so cool. Here in the picture, Tom picked my wife and I up in the limo and we went to LAX to pick up my family who were coming in and we surprised them with a big time Limo , driving to my home in Dana Point.. Tom also met his bride at our home on July 4, 2012.. love you brother…

To Tom's family and friends,

How does one compress 35 years of friendship, brotherhood, and love when words cannot adequately express the deep loss in my heart for my brother Tom.

Tom was not just a Christian brother, but my brother from a different mother. From the day we met until the last time we saw each other, Tom was the same Godly man, friend and brother. What a joy it was to get together with him and Joanie. We used to tease each other that my wife was my Joanie, wife #1, and his wife, Joanie, was my wife #2 and vice-a-versa. 

He was always there for you, ALWAYS. He was never more than a phone call away.  He always put others before himself, ALWAYS. He was the walking, talking witness of the love of Jesus Christ, ALWAYS. 

While I cry tears of sorrow and pain of his passing, I also cry tears of joy for knowing that I will see him again in Heaven for Eternity. Tom not only finished strong, he started strong and remained strong through life and now his legacy.

All of you are in my thoughts, prayers and wishing all of God's abundant blessings on each and every one of you.


Lynn (my husband) and I have been friends of Tom for 30+ years.  Tom   was definitely a man of God. I remember being at a bible study where Tom was the speaker. At the end Tom asked people to come forward if they needed prayer. A line started and Tom put hands on their heads one at a time and prayed. The Holy Spirit was in Tom that night. People were fainting on the floor as he continued praying non-stop for all until the line finished. His energy was drained. I asked him what he experienced. He said he didn't remember any of the prayers but felt a heaviness on his shoulders. Lynn and I lived with Joanie, Tom, and the girls for about six months in a period of hard times. We used to have a lot of fun having two Joanie's in the house.  Tom lived with us again just before he married Elia. We used to have a lot of fun having two Joanie's in the house. We love the family dearly and pray for God's love and peace to surround them at this time.  We were blessed to have Tom in our lives.  We love you, Tom, and will be with you in heaven.
