So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I knew him as a faithful choir member at First Pres, a supporter of the music ministry and a wise and welcoming man. He made the world a better place. Holding you and all who loved him in prayer.

Always with a warm and welcoming smile, Tom was a good listener, a strong supporter of those being called into the ministry, and a faithful servant of the LORD. He will be missed.

Tom was so kind and gentle and always had a smile on his face. His spoken words always seem to have a chuckle attached to them. He could always be depended on to do whatever he said he would do. He knew a lot, yet never made others feel inadequate if they did not know what he knew.

We will miss seeing him in church and seeing him as a part of the choir. We will also miss a good and faithful friend who lived life like God wants all of us to live.

We are so sorry to learn of Tom's death. What a fine man he was -- so giving to others and such a leader. We have particularly fond memories of him and his participation in and contributions to First Presbyterian and Findlay Country Club. He was always fun to play golf with!
