This was the article that was written up In TOPS NEWS that featured couples in TOPS. 

I am very saddened to hear about Tom’s passing.  I have so many fond memories with him that I will cherish.   Bunco nights, dinners at his house, holiday parties, and lots of fun and laughter.    I remember playing with the Goldens and having doggie play dates.   I also remember a trip we all made up to the cabin in Wyoming with his dogs and camper, lots of wine in the evenings.  The camper got a flat tire, which could have been terrible, but he turned it into a fun memory with lots of laughter.   I will remember the laughter and stories the most.  
My deepest condolences to all of his family members.  He will be missed, but leaves behind a legacy of love and happiness in you.  
Love, Brian and Jennifer Friend 


Tom has been a very special part of my life for a long time, TOPS, dominos, going to the movies, Finding good places to go to. I will miss him forever. He told the best stories about growing up in Canada, going to college, traveling around  Europe,  as a young man and later with Susan. His life was dedicated to his family and friends.  he was always there for us. It is hard to imagine a world without Tom. 

What a sweetheart of a gentleman. We at TOPS 062 loved having him come with Susan to the annual visitation/lesson. He will be missed by so many.

Sendiing my deepest sympathy to the TIGERT FAMILY and esp.to my Dear Friend, Susan.  
  From the first time I met Tom, I knew what a wonderful man he was. You were very blessed, Susan, to have had this man in your life.
  All the fond memories you have will comfort you through this difficult time. May the Comforter be with you at this time.
   You are in my thoughts and prayers, Susan!  Love, Carrie Herman
