Tom was not only a dear friend but also a valued mentor in the field of automatic musical instruments. His legacy will live on with the many, many people he touched over the years of his involvement in the field. Merrie and I offer our sincerest condolences on this great loss.
Tom was someone I have known for many years. I met him probably in 1966/67. We had some fun times especially in our trading for rolls and other things. He was responsible for my acquiring a Seeburg G which he knew meant a lot to me. His wit and friendship will be greatly missed. Rosanna and I offer our deepest sympathies to his family and many friends.
Tom has been in our parade in chatfield many times over the years with his music we will miss him
