we are so sorry to hear this! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have been out of town so did not hear of this in church. We received an email indicating that it was announced. Tom did so much that it is hard to imagine Lake Street without him. Len

Tom and I were part of the Colfax "group" for many years, and we shared time in Eau Claire in recent years. He was a good man. I will miss his voice and his smile.

Nellie, we'll all miss that sauntering around and visiting we've all been so accustomed to. The first time I ever met Tom, he showed up at my little blue house with paint samples and announced he was Rocky Heike's representative. The professions he chose were so well suited to his personality! He could visit with anyone anywhere. We should all be so lucky to have that talent! We are going to get busy exercizing again, physical activity is good for the soul. xox Barb

Dear Janelle and family: Tom was everything his obituary stated and more. His ability to make conversation with one and all and his likeable personality will be what others remember him by. I will never forget his "bean" jokes at some family gatherings. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

My Sympathies to the Family of Tom. I knew him well when we both lived in Colfax. He stopped in at my office in Hudson for a few minutes several months ago when he was in the area. Good to see him and chat for a few minutes.

Janelle and family~ So shocked and saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He was a lovely gentleman who I always enjoyed visiting with.

To Tom's family, I wanted to extend my sympathy in the loss of your father. I can remember many Saturday mornings when my dad, Julian, would wander up to Colfax to have coffee and chat with Tom. Of course, every football or basketball game would include a little discussion before and after as well on how the Mounders were going to beat the Vikings. Those memories bring a smile to my face and I hope to yours as well. I wish you peace. Jennifer Rhude Krug

I am sorry for your loss; Tom was one of the nicest guys a person could've ever known. I met him several years ago at the coffee shop in downtown Eau Claire when I worked in that building. Tom was just one of those people that you saw every day, wiht a smile on his face. Tom had the gift of gab and was the most talented process server we've ever used. God bless your family and take comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place.

I attend Bethesda Lutheran Church and met Tom when we had a combined training session for Stephen Ministry 2 years ago. I really enjoyed talking with him. He had a fun sense of humor. He will be sorely missed.

Dear Janelle and family, We just learned of Tom's passing from our friend Vicki and am saddened by the news. Along with Diane, we wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. As you know, you and Tom were wonderful in your support and caring for my mother, Margaret Gelvin. Tom especially provided for her many needs way beyond any ordinary expectations and I will always be grateful for his generosity. Tom also was incredibly helpful to me after Mom passed away. We are glad that you and Tom had the time together that you did and we know that you enjoyed life together. Tom was a good man who gave much to so many and he will be remembered fondly.

I was so saddened to read of Tom's death in the paper and wanted to offer my condolences to his family. I met Tom a few times when he came to Chippewa Valley Ostomy Association meetings. I appreciated his smile and positive attitude. He always brought some zest, humor and encouragement to meetings he attended. We shall miss him.
