“Tom was a great friend of mine. He was very quiet, and a hard worker but he had a great smile and sense of humor. He would warm-up as he got to know you and then he would share his comments and humor more and more. He was a very calm person, never ruffled. So, it was wonderful spending time with him. We often lived in the same communes and worked on the same projects. He would put his head down and go to work, but would always appreciate humor and share a wide smile.” - Laura Johnston Kohl
