He was preceded in death by the loves of his life, Indra Allen, Claudia Cramer and Patti Sawka. The family would like to thank Vitas Hospice for its amazing support. We would also like to thank the many friends and extended family members for all the prayer, meals and love to help us help Tom make his peaceful transition.
