I’m sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. I worked with him in the early 1980’s when we both worked at a video game arcade, and kept in touch with him occasionally through the years. It was always fun to catch up with him when we’d talk. Sincere condolences to the family.
Sue – my condolences to you and your family. Tom was so loved at GEICO! He was an amazing man with an amazing heart. I’m praying for healing energy and grace.
He will be truly missed. Sending our love and prayers
I enjoyed working with Tom at GEICO. He was a sweet person and made a difference in the office. I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful man.
I’m so sorry to hear this. My condolences are with you and your family. I met him at GEICO back in 2014. He was always so joyful and happy! My prayers are with you during this time.
Sue and Family,
We are so sorry for the Loss of Tom. He was such a joy to have known . May God ease the pain in your hearts and fill your days to come with all the fond memories you cherish.

Susan and family, I was so saddened to read on social media about Tom. I was fortunate to meet him through GEICO, everytime I saw him around the office he was always in a joyful, positive and fun spirits. When he retired our office was never the same. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I realized we’re neighbors.
May you all be held in the warmth and love of your memories of Tom.
Susan and family, I pray for comfort and strength as you grieve the loss of Tom. He was such a great friend, golf buddy and working colleague over the years. From Radio Shack, Sprint Cellular, 360 Com. and Alltel to our membership in Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 969, I will treasure my memories of him as a gentleman, great party host, and so much fun to be around. Rest in Peace, my good friend.
I worked at Pembroke Mall back in the 80s at a sports kiosk my dad had right in front of the Radio Shack Tom managed.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed talking and laughing with him when he would walk outside the store for a few minutes.
Keep in mind, I haven’t seen or talked to him in 30+ years, and I still remember him, and am saddened at this news. God bless him and his family.
Sue and Families, so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Tom. We will remember how much of a gentleman he was to Donna and I . Prayers for all 🙏🏻🙏🏻
