you will be so missed but will always be remembered.
Really shocked to hear of Tom's passing. Just saw near the end of June. I met Tom at Notre Dame high school and we hung out a bit during the school days. I reconnected about about 20 years ago when I walked into Lordco. We recognized each other at once. Always very helpful. I'm really gong to miss Tom.
it's always hard to lose a friend. even though i'd lost touch with tom over the years i have a ton of great memories and all of them are good ones. he was always hilarious and never did we have a dull moment when he was around.i know he will be missed by family and friends alike. i regret i won't be able to attend the service as i will be out of town. i have some great pics of tom at his comical best and can email them to you if you would like. again my deepest regrets to all.
So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Tom as a child, and so enjoyed our summer trips to BC to visit my cousins. I wish I had gotten to spend more time with all of you. Strength, prayers, and hope. Love, Carol Bartlett Recio
So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He will be missed by so many. We met Tom through Lordco on Edmonds. Over the years we became great friends. No matter what part we needed for whatever vehicle he would search it out for us. We would pass our National Dragster magazine on to him whenever we would get it and he was always happy to get his reading material. We were fortunate enough to run into him at Mission a couple of weeks before his passing and we enjoyed a great visit over lunch - this will always be a treasured memory. He really took an interest in all of us racers, always inquiring about what we doing. We will really miss him.
