Debbie, please know that you are in our prayers.

Eric and family, My deepest sympathy in the passing of your dad. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincere sympathies to you Debbie, on the passing of your dear husband. Love, Sue Spears Cyphert.

I was so happy to stumble upon Tom's Charleston gallery while visiting the city in February. I was privileged to know him and Deb during their time in North East, PA. His friends and admirers will remember him as a gentle, thoughtful, funny and creative soul who touched our spirits through his art. His gifts will be misses. My sympathy to Deb and his family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will miss you Tom. Our prayers are with you.

Tom advertised in a magazine I work on. His paintings have always been so beautiful and he's been wonderful to work with. Praying for the family during this time.

I knew Tom quite well. He was thoughtful, funny, smart, well read, and always a pleasure to be around. I have some of his work in my house, both sculpture and paintings, and will always cherish every piece. I visited his studio in Charleston several times and it was always an experience. Tom was creative beyond description and always had a few fascinating pieces underway in the studio, never in a rush to get something out the door until he felt he had put as much thought as needed into it. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, and not the least of all, by his adoring big old dog, Blue, who was always at Toms feet.

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing, when I saw on Facebook that people were talking as tho he was gone I first thought it was some kind of prank, as I searched further I saw that it was true. My deepest sympathy to Deb and the children/grandchildren.
I first met Tom in the early 1960's when we both worked at Tempo Studios in Pittsburgh, PA. He soon decided the commercial art business was not for him and left to pursue a fine arts career. We connected many years later when he was back in Northeast, PA, that's when we met Deb. Then stayed in touch with Tom after they moved to SC. and followed his excellent painting career. He always emailed pics of his latest projects. What a talented artist Tom was. We still have several originals of his work including the iconic Elvis that he did before he and Deb moved to SC. I'm so sorry we never were able to see Tom and Deb in SC. I will miss him.

With deepest sympathy in your loss,

John Rohaly
