I always used to look forward to seeing Tom, he was totally genuine, and great fun to be with.

A huge loss, and a chap I really will miss very much.

My thoughts are with his family.

RIP Tom

Whenever Tom's name appeared next to yours on the roster the thought of slogging a Shed around the skys on a winters night didn't seem too bad.

A sad loss to all who knew him, especially his family who he often talked about with love and affection.

Tom

Still at a complete loss for words, shocked and stunned like many.
I can only reiterate the thoughts and sentiments of everyone else.
Go back as far as 97 with Tom and just have many pleasant memories down route.
Annie and Phil, my thoughts and best regards are with you.

I worked alongside Tom for the last 3 years - it's all been said already, a completely genuine decent person who will be badly missed.

RIP Tom

I am sorry that I can't be at Tom's funeral tomorrow. My thoughts will be with Annie, his family, friends and colleagues.

Unfortunately nor can I. The hospital have me on a prior arrangement that I can't get out of.
All my thoughts to everyone going, but especially to Tom's family.

I flew with Tom on the 757 at DHL Air - he was a pleasure to fly with and to socialise with. I've read through the threads above and can only agree with everything thats been said - a very kind man who will be greatly missed.

Best regards and condolences to his family and friends.
