"Tom was one of the greatest men I know. He was a hard honest and caring man that taught me so much about life. He was like a grandfather to me. He changed my life in so many ways and taught me the rewards of working hard and for that I am truly grateful. I'll never forget the long summer days spent working at the farm or the lunches together listening to his tales of Goldendale. I only wish I had more time with him or that I had met him 30 years earlier to see Goldendale in all its glory. We shared the same passion for the outdoors and everytime I see a deer, a bear, goose or duck I cant help but thing of the greatest farmer who ever lived. Tom was my buddy and he will be greatly missed. I just know hes up there right now with Joan and his dogs watching over the sheep of Goldendale. May his legend live on, and his memories stay strong in our hearts. I'll miss you Tom!"
