Tom was a fountain of knowledge and a pretty good fencer. He also had a touch of the absent minded professor which made him even more lovable. I’ll miss seeing him at the fencing salle but he won’t be forgotten.
Tom was a loyal and true friend. His knowledge and attention to detail made him an enjoyable conversationalist. Tom embraced individuals from all walks of life and circumstances. I will miss him, as will many others.
Tom was a joy to speak to and a lively conversationalist. He always had time for a quick chat, even if it ventured into a longer discussion. He always had a nice word or life story to share and really enjoyed discussing his previous work and how much life and people meant to him.
My brother Tom was super kind and gentle. He had a keen intellect and a quirky sense of humor. I suffered along with him at the end wishing I could do something to help him. He had great friends most of whom I did not meet until his final illness. I want to say thank you to Tom’s friends for caring for him and sticking with him until the end. You helped me get to know an aspect of Tom I had not known before, as a leader who cared dearly about his friends. With love for my big brother, Twyla Priester Woods
Twyla, Tom’s sister has felt so much love through his friends during Tom’s final illness.
Farewell Tom. Your kind heart and gentle soul will be missed by so many and will always be remembered.
Tom was such an interesting man and he loved a good conversation. Our memories of him at the fencing club will be forever cherished.
Tom, thank you for the support and confidence building you gave me in the fencing community.
You were always incredibly kind, and so incredibly intelligent.
I look forward to meeting you again in the next life.
Tom always wanted to help and share his skills..from toxicology to fencing..Ill miss his big love and his messy desk. XO Tom. Rest in peace.
