I was very saddened to hear of Tom’s death. My deepest condolences to Dot, Rosalee, Tony, Jan and their families. Besides being one of my father’s dearest friends, Tom was a caring adult figure to me as a child. I will fondly remember his quiet manner at the pottery, on the wagon train, in our living room growing up, and more recently helping my own children and their classmates appreciate the art of pottery.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. So many good memories. God Bless.
Love,

His memory lives on thru his pottery. We have so many pieces of Pisgah Forest Pottery. We are so proud to have his art and love telling the story of our family history. You will be surely missed by all.
