I’m sorry to hear this news. I was his pool playing buddy for quite a few years.
I also considered him my business mentor when I was getting into the sales game. Great story teller, and fierce competitor, and he’ll be missed.
Doug, Tom spoke of you many times in great regard. He will be greatly missed.
Love him so much. I met him through pickleball, and he took me under his wing. What a wonderful human being. He will be sorely missed. Much love to his family. You are in my thoughts. 💯💕
Thanks Angela
All of Tom’s pickleball friends in Jefferson County are sincerely sorry for your loss. Tom was an avid and great pickleball player.
We enjoyed knowing and playing with Tom. He will be missed. We extend our deepest sympathy to all of Tom’s family.
Thank you Donna! Your comments are appreciated.
Tom was a natural born teacher when it came to tennis, golf or pickleball. Always encouraging and complimentary. He will be greatly missed. He was a very competitive person who was his worst critic. I always laughed when he started to talk to himself after missing a shot. Rest in peace my friend and may God open his gate to your spirit.
Many thanks Tim
Another pickleball friend here, representing on behalf of his St. Louis County pickleball friends, specifically at the Riverchase Y in Fenton. We’ll miss Tom so much, our hearts are heavy for this great loss. Such a kind, generous, spirited, enjoyable person to play with. One of the gals I was talking with yesterday said even though she only played with him a few times, playing with him was like playing with your buddy for 10 years…so true! He was just that kind of person. Beautiful soul. He will be very missed. Hugs to the family, Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and may perpetual light shine on Him, may he rest in peace.
Thank you Kate.
Loved playing pickleball with Tom always encouraging and complimenting of my game. He was selfless and never critical. He will be missed by those of us who played with him. Can’t imagine the void his absence will leave for his family. Peace
Thank you Dan.
Tom was a friend and mentor. He challenged my thinking and encouraged me to believe in myself. He made me laugh. I think he made me better. I will see him again. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you Marilyn, how did you know Tom?
I was introduced to him by a mutual friend in sales. We only met once in person but corresponded online for nearly 20 years. He encouraged me to get a dog as I struggled to heal from a painful divorce. I did get a dog, Molly. And he empathized with me recently when I had to let her go after 16 1/2 years. I will miss our friendly chats. I pray for God’s Grace and peace for all of your family
