The world has lost a great man and dear friend to many. I was first introduced to Tom, through my dad. Tom and my father became friends around early 70's. As Tom's name was part of our family through many years. Tom always took a moment if nothing more than say hello, an how you holding up. A dear friend and his smile would show the size heart that man had as well. Julie , so sorry for your loss. The Campbell family as a whole will miss Tom, It makes me laugh thinking Tom and Dad will be leaning over some old equipment again.

Julie and family, Toms loss hurts! First and foremost it hurts you and yours. Second, it hurts everyone on Grindstone and everywhere else.who cared so much for him and he for them. Thirdly, his loss hurts our Fisher family because we lost a neighbor who meant so very much to us as a wonderful, helpful friend. Tom was a man’s man and the love of your life Julie. May God bless you, your family and the great man’s soul. Jim and Gina

Julie and family
So sorry to hear of Tom’s untimely passing. Tom was a friend and help to me over the years as he was to nearly ever one on Grindstone Island. I don’t know of anyone who loved being on Grindstone more than Tom.
Always glad to give advice and help when needed. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I have known Tom since I was a teenager. He was a hardworking man who enjoyed all the persons he met. He always had time to talk with you . I had a good conversation with Tom and Julie two weeks ago. He told of his heart problem but was optimistic that he would be able to overcome it. He always looked on the bright side. My deepest condolences to Julie and his family. He will certainly be missed by all that knew him.
