In typical fashion, Tom wished for absolutely no funeral service or celebration of his life.
He won't even like that I set up this website to allow those of us close to him to share memories of his life.

Tom was a man of many words. We met in 2012 at Art Toronto and became friends once we got past the initial stare down and interview. He was a great supporter of young Canadian artists and his visits to the gallery were always memorable. I appreciated his intelligence, frankness and his sense of humour. Tom always remembered to ask how my family and my dog were doing. Only days prior to his passing we spoke on the phone about women in the workplace, education as the solution to all our problems and the reality of being a teacher. He spoke passionately and even called me back to elaborate on our discussion. He eluded to dying in our conversation and concluded by saying, “I am not going to live forever you know Nik.” I replied, "oh stop, you have a ways to go", little did we know.
Niki DracosForever grateful for Tom's friendship and support.
R.I.P. Tom, you will be missed. Our condolences to his family and friends.
