Tom was a bright star on the face of this universe. He had it all, smarts, charm, good looks, intelligence, love of family & friends, love of the theatre, and a way of finding the best in all he knew. I'm glad I passed his way. It's the brightest stars that we miss the most.

Thank You Tom, for dragging me into the Key Players and welcoming me into the KP Family. You were the reason so many of us met in the first place. Your sense of community will be sorely missed.

Our thoughts are with Kathy and the family. Tom was an important part of our community -- both the Rock Harbor Club and the Key Players. We'll always remember him back stage and in front of the audience.

I have known Tom and Kathy for over 15 years… Such a fun, kind and loving couple! Key Players was a passion of his and without his tireless devotion and expertise, we would not be in existence today. Tom was a friend and mentor toward me and I enjoyed working with him numerous plays! I will miss him very, very much!

Dear Cousin, Sorry to hear of your loss. Though we had too few occasions to be with him, he certainly had a warm and welcoming personality. Sorry too for your children.

Tom excelled in ways few folks do. It was a privilege to call him and Kathy my good friends- and a boatload of fun too. As Tom loved to sing, "A man of means..." and, make no mistake, the reason the Key Players continue to enrich the Upper Keys today.
My high respects and very best to Kathy, Kellie and Brian.
