Tom was eclecticism defined — the techno-luddite, the palest of Shona musicians. A great guy for a road trip – he knew all the Dead tunes.

I always appreciated Tom's perspective on things. I will miss the calm, inciteful, coolness he carried with him and spread around for those to recognize. I'm glad he was happy, at peace and in a beautiful place, when he moved on. I'll miss him, but look forward to seeing him again. And he always had the weirdest way of getting belly laughs out of me.
