A private family ceremony will take place this weekend.  A public memorial is being planned for a future date not yet determined. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made to the Peace and Justice Resource Center, which will aide in the continued promotion and preservation of Tom's good works.

His family asks for privacy at this time and thanks all those who have reached out with condolences.

Thank you,
