My sympathies go out to you Rowena and all you family on the loss of Tom. I think of him on the croquet lawn at Te Anau, a good community man. Warm regards, Judy Buchanan

A gentle man in many ways, and a gentleman. Honoured to know Tom for so many years. Highly respected by many in our community. Our thoughts are with you Rowena, and all of the family, on this extremely sad day.

To Rowena and Family. Deepest Sympathy on the loss of Tom. Great Builder in his years and a gentleman. Our apologies, we cannot attend his service this afternoon.
Peter & Margaret Gutsell, Otautau.
Oh Rowena and family I am so sorry for your loss. Tom and Ted were special friends of my parents back in the day and memories of the 60s especially along with their other friends bring back funny times. A little old austin with four big blokes hanging off it dragging their boots as brakes because there was none has to be the funniest of all coming down off the hill in the motor camp toward the mpr road. Always up to good old fashioned mischief, hunter gathering and singsongs around the table. Unforgettable.
Big loves to you Rowena and your family, keep the memories close they are so very precious forever.
