Jim and I were distressed to read of Tom's passing. We remember him and Richard as little boys in Lancaster many, many years ago! We are grieving with the family as they pass through this sad time of transition. Tom Brice surely packed a lot of living into his brief time on earth!! May his memory be a blessing.

My Prayers go out to Tom's family during this time.
I first met Tom when i was hired as the waitress at Smoke BBQ. He always had a smile on his face and full of knowledge! From roasted oysters to bluegrass music! I remember my first day like yesterday after every thing was cleaned and put away Tom, Heath and Dan the Pig Man gathered around the pit, talked about that day and dranked a PBR... called me over offered me a beer ... I told them no thanks I didn't drink.... Tom said " Oh No! We can't have that... It's a tradition.. we don't break tradition! So I had a PBR! That has always stuck in my memories. He was a good guy! And will surely be missed! RiP Tom

Although I only spent a day with Tom and Logan, he was already becoming a good friend. He and Logan hunted with us at Wiggins, and you couldn’t help but sense there was something special about him. I read more about Tom than he ever talked about. I liked that too. I am sorry for those who knew him, and sad for all those who never go to meet such a wonderful person. God bless

Thinking of Amy at this sad time. I remember when Amy asked me about surprising Tom with an art studio for painting. Another one of his talents. I felt the love in her words, surprising him with something he wanted and just mentioned. My deepest sympathy to Amy and their families.

Thinking of Amy at this sad time. And remembering Amy telling me she wanted to surprise Tom with a studio for doing his art. And what did I think? I felt the love in your words. Surprising Tom with a studio for another one of his talents. Tom: A Renaissance Man!

To the Hall family,

My deepest condolences for your sudden loss of Tom. While I´ve really only known him for 3 years, it feels like it has been 30. I will always have warm memories of the many quail hunts enjoyed at his start-from-scratch quail club at beautiful Lang Syne 3 years ago. We should all hope to have as much commitment and passion about endeavors as Tom did. I will truly miss his presence and friendship. May Gods peace surround all of you during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Tom, and I will look forward to seeing another covey rise again with you someday!
