Carlton Lockard wrote a sympathy message

“I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Tom as long as many of the others in our tennis circle. But over the past five years he has been a joy to play with. We shared lots of life stories, philosophies (of course, he's a professor for goodness sake), and of course lots of jokes. He let us know his condition was gradually worsening. But you couldn't help but admire his nobility throughout.”

Mitch Head wrote a sympathy message

“I loved to play tennis with Tom at Blackburn or the JCC. He was always fun, cracking jokes, with a wicked sense of humor that I enjoyed. We are both of Polish heritage so we shared memories of our favorite Polish foods and the few Polish words that I knew. I only knew a little of his well-travelled life, which he continued up until the end despite his failing health. I will remember him fondly every time I step onto the tennis court. Mitch”
