It has been so many years, I was just a kid when I met Tom. I have not had contact since we left school. Pam I pray that you and your family have peace.  We are very sorry for your loss on behalf of The Dean family, from Vinegar Hill Rd. Mary Dean Thompson '74'Brother Andy '72. God comfort you all.

My sincerest sympathy Pam and family. I will always remember him fondly. GOD bless you Tom.

Danielle and Gage,
So sorry for your loss. Looking at his childhood pics, I can see that Gage looks exactally like his Grampie.  Love you both. My thoughts and prayers are with you today

Memories of the time I spent with Tom will always put a smile on my face. I've had the opportunity to work with Tom in various capacities throughout the years. Tom was even responsible for helping me get an important new position I enjoyed for many years. More importantly, Tom was friend. I often received text messages from Tom, each one reminding me again of his tremendous sense of humor! Tom and I could talk about nothing at all, or about decisions that would shape our futures. He was just that kind of guy. I looked up to Tom, always interested in his opinions and direction. I'm going to miss the friendship, guidance and humor Tom shared with me and all who had the opportunity to know him. My prayers go out to Pam, Danielle, Gage and the Bakke family for your loss.

Dearest Pam, our deepest sympathy, remembering the good times you had together will help you through this time.  Know I am and will always be here for you, Love always, Cherie, Carl and all the kids.

Tom was my neighbor on Kennedy Drive when we were young.  I remember his sense of humor well.  I was saddened to hear this news.  I will light a candle for him and his family.  Carleen Mejza

I'll never forget his laugh and his guitar playing at the talent show in school.

Remembering high school days and what a wonderful person Tom was. May he be at peace.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Tom many years ago, and listening to his wonderfully told stories. My life is a little  brighter for having known him. He was always so full of life and will be sorely missed. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.

I was so sorry to read about Tom's passing. I worked with him from about 1985-1990 at The Computer Lab in New London, in that great decade of the 80's (and early wonder years of the Apple Macintosh). We had a lot of fun there. I hadn't seen him since then, but the photos were nice to see, he looked like he was having fun as always. I had heard that for a few years he had the tool franchise and every time I see one of their trucks I think of him. My sympathy and prayers to his family and friends.

Dear Pam and the Bakke family, I am very sad and shocked to hear of Tom's passing. He had been helping me since the beginning to plan our 40th high school reunion and his passing has profoundly affected all of us who shared our high school years together.  We will miss him and keep his memory near to our hearts next July. Our most sincere sympathy.

To Tom's Family, my sincerest condolences. Life brings people in and out of your life, and I feel lucky to have met Tom when we both lived in Gales Ferry. Rest In Peace my friend.

Dear Pam, I was so sorry to hear about Tom. I will always remember all the fun times at the house playing cards, going in the jacuzzi or just hanging out. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.  Yours, Louise

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great guy! I enjoyed you guys coming to the Cuckoos Nest when I bartended there. We would talk about everything and laugh like crazy. My deepest condolences. Sincerely,
Scotty
