I am so sorry to hear of Thom's passing. I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. I got to know Thom while he drove for Lamers and serviced the college's shuttle route. He was insistent on providing top-notch customer service and it was a joy to share stories with him and his colleagues. Thom, may you rest in peace. Thank you for making our lives better. ~ Tina Ahedo

I am deeply saddened by Thom's passing. As Patty and Thom's neighbor, I will always treasure the countless outdoor conversations we shared. Thom had a way of making every topic feel meaningful, and those moments of talking about everything and nothing will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a wonderful presence in our community, and his kindness and warmth will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with Patty and the family during this difficult time.
