I knew Tom from his days wintering in Destin. Socializing with this man was delightful. He was always a gentleman and and had a sharp mind. It was an honor to know him. My sympathy to all his family for their loss.

I met Tom while spending our time at Gulfview to avoid the coldest months of the North. I enjoyed
the time together hearing of his life experiences, especially time he served as a patriot in service
for our country. a good man with good principles. Our Sympathy to Family and the Memories he made.

Jenny and Bob and all of you....in that year of caring for Tom after his knee injury, he became a dear friend. We kept in touch sporadically after that, and it was always "a good day" when we had had a chance to visit, in person or on the phone. What a splendid gentleman! I am fortunate to have known him, and treasure his memory. Miriam "Mim" Patterson

I have many good memories of Tom. The Clausons were my backyard neighbors in Ames and Nancy and I have been life long friends. During Nancy's visits to see Tom, I would often travel to Ames and enjoy time with both of them. A nice memory for me is when I had lunch with Nancy and Tom last Fall. Tom was such a nice and kind man. My sympathy to the family. With love, Marna Adams Stevens
So very sorry for your loss of a wonderful family man. Our sympathies. Steve and Peggy Bruns
