Thank you sweet Aunt Linda! He was a wonderful man!
I had the awesome pleasure of working with Tom on many shows at TWO! His first show, he got to be under the stage to “catch†as I went head first down a giant vase. He never let me forget it. I will miss his wonderful sense of humor and his laugh!
That was one of his fond memories at TWO, a place that enriched his life beyond measure. Thank you for being a part of TWO.
Jennifer, Andy and Katie, we are incredibly saddened by the loss of your Dad. His Louisville family will miss his smile, laugh, and awesome sense of humor.

I met Tom through Theatre Workshop. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with him as well as directing him. I’d routinely run into him at the Health Park and I’ve been known to address his computer issues. Tom was always so nice and welcoming. His
Thank you for your kindness to our father through the years! I wish I had a recording of his laugh!
I have many fond memories of Tom from numerous TWO productions, My Fair Lady, Cemetery Club and Lettuce and Lovage to name a few. He will be missed.
He thoroughly enjoyed TWO and all of the wonderful people there. TWO was such a blessing to him throughout his adult life, especially in his retirement. Hopefully the donations made to TWO on dad’s behalf will help with future productions in our Community
