I'm sorry I only found out about Tom this evening. I'll always remember that hearty laugh of his shaking the walls of Comm-Spot (and it was not hard to set him off). Tom's laugh and my mother's - two of the best. A big-hearted guy, too.

Requiescat in pace, Tom.

You will always be apart of my childhood memories ~ listening to the band as us youngsters danced around having a blast! RIP Tom

I worked for Tom at Comm-Spot back in the '80s -- my first "real" job outside of working for my dad.  Tom was such a great guy to work for, we became fast friends.  I moved to L.A. in 1989 but tried to see him whenever I returned to St. Louis over the years.  He will surely be missed -- especially that full-bodied laugh of his.  Rest in peace, buddy!

Sharon, Tom, Tori and Wesley: So sorry to hear about Big Tom. I will always remember the good times from the past!

we will always remember you Tom! Love from all of us here at Artmart!

I had the pleasure of working with "Framer Tom" for many years...his boisterous laugh would always make my day...Our prayers are with you, his family, for the loss of such a talented man and great friend.

I remember Tom when I was growing up, I always thought he was a "cool" cousin.  He was very talented and I was always fond of him.  My sincere condolences to Sharon and all, Tom was awesome.

 Tom and Sharon, gave my kids some of the best memories of there childhood, that they have..thank you sooo much..Linda

Tom and Sharon gave my children some of the most fondest memories of there childhod..thank you!!!!

I never knew Tom.  But I know his son (Tom), and Tom the son is a fun-loving, happy kind of guy.  That tells me a lot about Tom, Sr.

His aunt, Willie (Billie) Hensley wants to express her condolences to his family.  He will be missed.  She remembes him fondly.  She remembers when he went to visit his grandmother at the Lutheran Home and a nurse took Grandma Kympton and a couple of others to the place where his band was playing here in Cape. We think it was the old Ramada Inn.
Aunt Willie Hensley, Cousin Helen Heise

Tom was such a gentle, nice man.  He was always welcoming when our family, or just our children would visit his home.  Always so kind and funny.  He was clearly one who loved his family.  Praying for the entire family.
