Dear Brent, I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. I'm thinking back to a year ago when you and Tom opened your beautiful home to the cast and crew and Hairspray, and what a delightful evening that was; I remember chatting with Tom about your antique piano, and how warm and gracious he was. Even meeting him only once, it was obvious to me what kind of person he was. Of course he was wonderful - he'd have to be to be with someone as wonderful as you. Sending all my love to you and your family.

Brent, We are really saddened to hear about Thomas passing. Our condolences to you in this tough time. I'm glad we got to meet him (and you!) when you both were here in Denver. I know he will be greatly missed and I wish you tons of fond memories as you navigate life moving forward. Thom, Sorry brother, it's one of the toughest things to lose your father. I'm glad you were able to spend a little bit of time with him at the end. All our best to you and Kimmi now and always. Love, Willi

Dear Brent, This is Zac, Thom’s cousin, writing you. I am really sorry to hear about Thom’s passing and for your loss. My heart goes out. It was a great pleasure getting to know the two of you over the last 10 years and it was a special thing to see my cousin Thom connect again with his dad. He was a kind, warm, funny and remarkable fellow. I am sad I won’t see him again. Take care Brent and may you find peace and comfort. Dear Thom, It’s times like this when it sucks to be across the ocean. Wish I could be with you. Your Dad was a great guy and you are great son and the both of you have the quality of a great sense of humor and a big beautiful heart. Love you brother. Lot’s of love Zac and Sonia

I had the pleasure of house sitting with friends at Brent and Tom’s house back in my WLMT days. Some of the friendships I made there have lasted a lifetime. I remember Tom’s gentle spirit, and an inspiration for me as a young man to always be your truest self. My sincerest condolences to Brent and family. Xoxox

So many things will forever remind me of darling Tom: delicious things, beautiful vintage things, clean & tidy things, artful things, wickedly witty things. But mostly heartfelt passions we'd have a natter about - kids and teaching, music, families found and reclaimed, what was in the garden, what was underway in rehearsals or what consumed a too short retirement. So much to miss, lots to cherish. Jim and Elliott & I send our love to Brent and Tom's family. We're so very sorry for your loss. Take good care.
