I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  I send my condolences to you and your entire family.  I worked with Thomas through Diversified and he was always so nice, friendly and accommodating.  I knew if I sent him or Rachel things were going to get fixed right!

My brother in law was a amazing person. Always a big smile and so kind. Always a positive attitude, in fact I often wished I could be like him. In a few words I would describe Tom " A good man". TOMMY, YOU WILL BE MISSED.💔

In my late teens Tom took me and a few others to a hill near MPLS, MN and that's where I had my first (and last) hang gliding experience. He was single and an active member of the Anoka Ward. I enjoyed his company and was impressed by his adventurous sport activities.

I was very sad to hear of Tom's passing. I loved talking to him at family gatherings. He was so easy to talk too for me & always very interesting. I really liked hearing about his work....Talk about a brave guy.....Climbing those towers! He was a very gentle soul & will be missed! I pray that as time goes on  your tears will be replaced with a smile remembering him as he was....a Loving partner, father, brother, uncle & to me cousin-in-law! Our deepest sympathy to you Kathy & all of Tom's family! All our Love, Tony & Anne Mentele 

My condolences to Thomas's family. I am so sorry for your loss and want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers! Thomas is forever in your hearts and may he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Rest in peace.

Tommy was a great man and the best uncle to me. He was a successful entrepreneur and a very hard worker who lived life by the rules. He was also a thrill seeker full of charisma and positivity that was infectious. Some of my favorite memories are flying in his airplane over Lake George, snowmobiling together, rock climbing at Taylors Falls, canoe trips down the Saint Croix River, fishing at the Anoka dam, talking about business ideas, playing with the dogs at Grandma and Grandpa’s on Round Lake Blvd, helping at the farm, selling the corn and joking about Frank’s antics. When I turned 15 and got my drivers permit, Tommy sacrificed his time and his orange Opel Manta 4-speed manual to teach me how to drive a stick shift on Mississippi Drive. I missed gears, ground the gears, lugged the motor and stalled the car numerous times. In true Tommy fashion he kept laughing and telling me to push the clutch in and shift faster.  I was hammering on his car and he was delighted!  He was a trustworthy, dependable man and a wonderful role model to me. Thank you Uncle Tom for everything, you will be sorely missed.
