Condolence From: Arthur Lyons

Condolence: I am proud to have been a friend of Tom since we met at Rice High School in 1967. Tom was a part of a very close group of track runners who have remained connected to the present. He ran X Country, indoor and outdoor track at Rice. He was a fierce competitor and tireless worker. He was a great friend with a warm smile and gentle, caring nature. He spoke often of his wife and son. He worked hard to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, and in so doing, he impacted the lives of more people that we can imagine. Our prayers go out to his family.
We will miss you Tom. You will remain in our hearts forever.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with Patti and Mark and all the Dern families. Dennis and Danny my deepest condolescenses on your brothers passing. Tom was a great friend, mentor and someone who was truly loved by all around him. I felt myself lucky to have known him and to be able to call him a friend. He was someone you could go to for great advice and wisdom. Tom was a humble man but truly a King amongst men.

Condolence From: susan w. williams

Condolence: I am lucky to have known Tom for over 20 years in my role as a parent of a son with autism and severe developmental disabilities, and as a
parent advocate. He was one of the brightest and kindest people I have met, particularly in the field of developmental disabilities. It is
a tremendous loss. I am very saddened. And send my thoughts and
prayers to the entire Dern family. He was there for me when my husband died three years ago, and I hope you know I am here for you in spirit as well.
