My beautiful neighbor. Such a kind man. I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I always looked forward to greeting him in the yard, sharing words about the beautiful weather, or growing kids. Always a warm smile or a gentle wave across the street. I respect you Tom, and will miss not greeting you each new day, but will think of you often. May you rest in peace.
For a few years now, my regional visits have brought me to the Homewood Suites a couple of times a year. From my first visit, Tom made a huge impression on me. He was quick to stop me, shake my hand, and pleasantly thank me. He was genuinely happy to be working with us and contributing to making our hotel a great place for people to stay. It was always apparent how much pride he took in his work and how he loved to connect with our team and our guests. I always tried to be sure he knew how much his contribution meant - his smile and humble demeanor was contagious.
I'll truly miss seeing Tom when I come to visit. Please know that he is an inspiration for me and our team at the Homewood Suites and Interstate Hotels. He made a huge impact on us and it won't be forgotten.
Tom, you were a gentleman, friend, co-worker, father, husband and and a gift to all who knew you. You blessed our hotel family with eight years of dedication, love, hard work, and most of all friendship. We have all been blessed by your love and care. We will always miss you; especially your genuine care and support. Tom Tom you where one of kind and your presence, kindness and grace will never be replaced. God Bless you and RIP our sweet friend. You will always be missed and in our thoughts and prayers— Your Homewood Suites Family ❤️✝️️
