This is what I posted on the guestbook: Tom was my oldest online friend, and probably the best person I know to be proof that online friendships are somehow less meaningful than those we share with people in our in-person daily lives. We met on the World News Now mailing list, it is true, but we shared a variety of interests, from TV shows to humor to music, to similar ideals on how the world could be a more loving, accepting place. I had a lot of fun co-writing haiku with him for an annual Valentine's Day website contest, and applauding as he won awards for it. I know he did the same when I won. Best of all was the enjoyment we shared working together. There's nothing like having a friend who really gets you, and engages your wit and creativity. That was Tom. Tom was also the person who remembered you, your loved ones, and all they were into. He'd send me books, articles, and other things he knew my dad would enjoy. I wish he had had many more than 37 years to share his inimitable gifts with the world, but am betting he made more of an impact on a diverse group of people than many do in 73 years. " " miss him" doesn't begin to cover it.
