His sister Beverly says, "Thom struggled with a lot of loss in his life, mostly close friends, and even his publisher for many years who passed away recently was a particularly crushing blow for him."  Thom spent a lot of time advocating for the rights of the homeless & other vulnerable groups. Reporting their plight whenever he could. Thom was a strong proponent for equal rights for all people and had a strong conviction for telling the truth. Thom had a strong work ethic and would work diligently to discover and report worthwhile news. He had an immense passion for writing and enjoyed sharing his ideas and opinions with others. He was always a source of positivity,  and most of his friends say how warm, loving, generous & kind Thom was.
