I worked with Tom at the Law firm for nearly 10 years.  He was a dear friend!  

Tom was very kind and generous through the years with many amazing gifts for both my daughter and me.   He loved to share his wines with all the staff and his friends.  When crabbing season rolled around, Tom had crab for any takers.  I went out with Tom on several occasions to drop the crab pots.  I have so many fond memories!  

I moved to San Diego in 2014.  Tom and I kept in touch either by e-mail, a text message or a nice phone call.  I had a long hour conversation on the phone a couple of days prior to his passing.  I am so grateful for those last words and laughter we shared!

R.I.P my dear friend!

I worked with Tom for over 20 years and am deeply saddened. I have many good memories of Tom's humor, kindnesses.  I will always remember freshly caught and cleaned crab he distributed to the office.

Tom was our  neighbor for over 25 years and he was always friendly, engaging, and quick with a smile. He was also very nice to our cat Wink, who was a frequent visitor at Tom's. We were very shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Our condolences to his family.  He will be missed by his Queen Anne neighborhood family.

Tom was an honorable man, with a wicked, though never mean spirited, sense of humor. Through the years we grew up together, I , along with many others, was the beneficiary of Tom's generosity of spirit and kindness. Though Tom was loathe to call attention to himself, the integrity with which he chose to live his life was noticed and admired by friends and colleagues.
Tom, you will be missed.

We had the pleasure of working with Tom on several cases.  We were so impressed with his professional handling of very complicated matters and the kindness he showed our clients and staff.  We're very sorry to hear of his passing and send our condolences to his family and members of his firm.   
Sincerely,
Ray and Jennifer Bishop, Bishop Legal

Very sad to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with him on several cases over the years and he was a delight to pass the time with. Polite, conscientious, good humored and intelligent - wonderful qualities that he shared with those he served so diligently. Rest in Peace Tom old boy.
