Tommy i did not know you had crossed over. I am saddened that i did not get to say goodbye. You were my first true love in all the world. I have never loved anyone the way i loved you. I will always love you. We will see each other again. Susan and Danny you have my condolences and deepest sympathy for the loss of your parents and brothers. May God bless and keep you forever

Oh Tommy. There's getting to be a bunch of us up there. Sure hope Mike and Sandy and even Gary were there to welcome you home.God's blessings to all as you celebrate Tom's life.

Wishing all the Biberstine family my greatest condolences. My mother, Gloria Klopfenstein Baumgartner Howes, was Tom's Mom's niece. I remember going to Aunt Lizzie's house off of Pettit in Ft. Wayne (don't remember the street name your house was on) to visit with Uncle Ralph, Aunt Lizzie and the kids. My mom always talked fondly of all of you. May your memories give you peace.

May all your hearts heal and be full of wonderful memories of your Dad. He will live on through all of you and your children. He was a lucky man to have such a beautiful family, as were all of you,and Lynn, to be loved by him.

Dear Dillon, Chad, Dustin, Collin, Cassondra and   family,
We feel very fortunate that Tom touched our lives and we had the opportunity to meet such a great person.  He and our son David shared many great times and they each taught each other a thing or two about fishing. We met Tom only a few times but in those times your dad was just larger than life.  He and I chatted just the end of July, he was very lucky to be so close with all his children and he knew it. We have no words to express our sadness of Tom's passing and are so sorry for your loss. 
Sincerely, Marina and Marc Kron

And there you have it Little Buddy.  You were a huge part of our lives in Fort Wayne and we will never forget the times we had and the laughs.  You will missed and our thoughts are with your kids and family.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Keep those memories alive. Take him along every journey. He will always be there.

Tom you left a legacy that will live on with great love and integrity . You are greatly missed here by all you touched, may your children know you live on in them. God bless you and your family, Tom.

To the Biberstine family, You are All in our thoughts and prayers. Love from  Suzy Bianski and family EGE, IN.

Tom,oh how I remember the times so many years ago. We had such fun, all of us, at the hockey games. Thats how I want to remember you. And, when you got your drum set for Christmas! Now, you and Mike behave up there. Tell Mike, Ralph, Lib and God I said hi. See you when I get there. Love, Jill

Tom was a great guy. When I was a kid he made us all feel at home in his house. He will be missed. My condolences go out to the kids...my friends.

We knew from the first day we met Tommy that our lives would never be the same. He has been our travel companion, roommate , guardian and brother from another mother for 39 years. Our lives now will never be the same without you Tommy. We will love and miss you always ! xoxo

Although I had just recently met you it was clear to see that you are an honorable, wise, kind, giving, pleasant, socialable, caring, smart, wise and so much more kind of man...We all could learn alot from you about how to be and how to treat our fellow man. Thank you for Dylan, he is alot like you.

Tommy you will surely be missed. I can't handle the thought of life without you. You will be fishing for men and womens souls. When I come to heaven to see you I have a lot of things to ask you since you were snatched away so quickly meet you at the water fountain thats where I told Mike I'd meet him, Miss you.

Chad, Dylan, Dustin, Cassie, & Collin,
My heart is heavy for you all I am sorry as I wish words could heal your pain but there are none that will. I wish I could say it gets easier but I know it doesn't, I hope you always hear his laughter and remember his embrace talk to him any time you want he will always be listening. 
Thinking of you all.

Your in my heart..your in my soul...thank you for sharing your wonderful family with me and creating our family. I feel your presence everytime I hug our children and grandchildren. I will keep your memory alive with our young grandchildren. See you when I get there...I know you are laughing with Mom..Dad and Mike.

Oh captain, my captain! I will never forget my time knowing you. You helped fill a void in my life during a very hard time. Thank you for everything you've done. I'll be there for Dylan like you were for me! Love you bro!

We will forever miss you. Your smile is engraved into our memories, never to be forgotten. Every second spent with you will be cherished. Our hearts are aching. Tell Dad I love him. Xxoo

I will never forget you...walk with the angels.

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.  MAY YOU DRAW CLOSE TO OUR LOVING GOD BY READING HIS WORD,  AND FIND COMFORT IN THE HOPE THAT HE GIVES US ALL  :  OF SEEING OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN IN A BEAUTIFUL NEW PARADISE HERE ON EARTH.

We are extremely upset to hear the tragic news of Tom's sudden passing. Over the many years we have known him he has always been a great friend and neighbour. We have shared many beers and fun times with him and these happy memories will always linger with us. We will miss his raucous laugh from the balcony. Our condolences to ALL his wonderful children and family who we had the pleasure of meeting just a few weeks ago. Love to all. Vivienne and Jack.

Been gone from Florida for almost 3 years but have kept in touch with Tom since leaving. We were neighbors in the same stairwell at VTV for many years. We had some "serious " conversations during those years We will miss him. Sincere condolences to the family. Ron and Cathy Maraz

Dylan. I know is very hard when somebody that you love so much pass away. But Anybody that knew your father will remembered as a great person that he was. God Bless him. and god bless you and the rest of your family. Your friend Herbie

Dylan and Chad,

I will miss your dad very much.  He was a great friend and neighbor to me. We had many great conversations (and even more laughs) on the balconies over the years.  His humor, friendship, and generosity will never be forgotten.
My sincere condolences to the rest of your family too.
