Glad to have Tom and Helen as our next door neighbor. Tom was a great MatchPlay competitor and all around great Milburn member. He´ll be missed.

I first met Tom in 1980 when he delivered our first child and since then, our paths crossed many times. He was truly a standup gentleman and doctor with a big heart and always a pleasure to be around. He will be missed by many and am so grateful to have known him and to call him a friend. My heartfelt condolences go out to Helen and the rest of their family.

Rest in peace Tom.

Tom was one of the first people I met in the CAOG, and I looked so forward to seeing him each year, knowing nothing could keep him away from the annual meeting. The CTC was even more special, as this smaller group got to know Tom in an even more personal way. His character, enthusiasm, and obvious love of his family, profession, and friends was inspirational. I could never match either John Calkins or Tom in golf, but I do think I gave them a few laughs on the course at my lack of ability. He will be missed terribly by all who had the good fortune to know him. Our hearts go out to Helen and their family. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

We have all lost an outstanding friend, mentor, father, brother, physician, surgeon, musician and "Mensch."
We rejoice that Tom is now celebrating eternity in the presence of The King of Heaven!
May Tom's memory be for a blessing to us all!
