Dear Barb,  I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  I didn't know Tom well, but he was always a really nice person when I did see him.  I will pray for comfort & peace during the very sad time.

Dear Barb & Terry,

I was so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I have so many fond memories of him from our infamous "Mexico trips" in the mid to late 90s!! :)

I viewed Tom as a man who truly did know how to live life -- although I did not know him well, the picture of him here is exactly how I will always remember him; big smile, big heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family,
Amy (Haapoja) Harth

I was blessed to have worked with Tom at U S West.  He was a brilliant engineer, a consummate teammate, and yet so humble.  He was a joy to work with, fun loving and an even better person.  We are so sorry about the loss of Tom, and our thoughts and prayers are with you, Barbara and family.

I have so many fond memories of Uncle Tom. I remember Christmas parties at his house where all the cousins and uncles played football in the snow intermixed with fooseball and pool. What feels like only a few summers ago, but when Lydia was 1 1/2, I remember sitting at Uncle Tom's cabin, sitting on the deck with Uncle Tom and Barbara. We sipped coffee and chatted while looking out over the lake. Uncle Tom commented how wonderful Lydia was as she played at our feet. The memory is a beautiful picture that will always remain vivid in my mind. Most of all, I remember Uncle Tom's warm smile that never changed, his sincerity, and his calm voice.

Auntie Barb and family, We are all sadden by Uncle Tom's passing.  He was a wonderful person and loved you very  much.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the honor of working with Tom at US West.  Tom was a wonderful person. Tom was caring, fun loving and truly loved his family.  Tom lead his life not by words but lead by action.  Rest in peace my friend.

I worked with Tom at U S West, he was a mentor, and a true genuine person.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Barbara and "my three sons", which is how Tom referred to his family. My heart aches for your loss.  Tom was one of the finest people I have ever met. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him, learn from him and to call him my friend.   I will miss his sense of humor, his kindness, and unending friendship.  I know God has a bigger plan for this man. I will miss him with all my heart. I am so very sorry for your loss. Love and hugs,
