Dear Tom You have been one sassy legend of a man whom we will miss forever and hold you eternally in our hearts. You have been the heart ♥️ of our community on Queen Caroline Estate and your incredible life full of unending stories which you loved telling us about along with all the local or historical goss - Tom knew EVERYTHING! 😁 - has been quite phenomenal and highly educational! You had the energy of a buzzing electron and we were always intrigued to have endless chats and tea enjoying your wonderful company and having a laugh. Thank you for being such a champion of dialogue no matter what we as individuals were going through in our own personal lives, we all felt better after an encounter with Tom. We solute you in memorial today Tom as many grieve the loss of your classic uniqueness so treasured today in a world of increasing chaos, division and judgement - you were our linchpin and soldier of peace and camaraderie supporting and uniting us all. To Dean and Daryl your sweet grandchildren whom I met in the 1990s and had the privilege of teaching, we send you all heartfelt condolences. What an honour to have known your dear Tom as our neighbour and friend. We grieve along with you and miss him dearly. Please look after your precious lives. See you on Eagle Peak Tom!
