From his twin brother Tim: “Tom (and I) were born on Sept. 24, 1949, and always lived in St. Louis Park growing up. Tom went to Lennox grade school, Westwood Jr. High, and of course St. Louis Park high school.

"Tom moved to California in the late 70's, and worked as a paralegal with a lawyer that he lived with. He was a great dog lover and always had Skye Terriers from the early 70's, untill his death.

"Tom was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in late Dec. 2016. He had an operation to remove most of it but died on Feb. 21, 2017.

"Tom is survived by his husband Walt, myself, and my older brother Guy."
