Tom will truly be missed. I met Tom when he came to Kansas City to work at the same company as myself. He was very kind, caring and a very good man. His Buddy Simon is a dear friend of mine and I enjoyed the times we shared when we all went out together. My thoughts and prayers go out to his son and siblings. May he rest in peace.

Deepest Sympathy for TJ, Mary, Beth Judy, John, extended family and his dear friend Simon Niekerk.
I am so deeply saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I met Tom when he moved to Kansas City. I enjoyed a friendship and fun times with Tom for a little over two years. He was a kind, caring and gentleman. I will always cherish his friendship. I remember how kind he was to help me during my move, could not have done it without him. Rest in peace my friend.
