Rob Swenson wrote a sympathy message

“Tom was a very good journalist and very good man. I worked with him at the Argus Leader, and I respected the work he did later for other publications. We shared a love for South Dakota and a strong, rooting interest in the SDSU Jackrabbits. I'm sorry that I missed his Celebration of Life on Aug. 27. -- Rob Swenson Sioux Falls”
