I knew Tom through Carroll. During those hours when she and I were chatting away about Assistance League, or just life in general, he would sometimes join the conversation but oftentimes work on something in the house or garden, always with a good-humored smile. When he learned of my love of classical music, he offered his season tickets for the Vegas Philharmonic, a kindness that ultimately led me to become a supporter of the philharmonic. The last time I saw him was in the parking lot of Assistance League, where Carroll and I just finished videotaping a KOB skit. He was there to pick up Carroll, not knowing she and I had already planned on driving back together. Again, he smiled good-humoredly, stepped back into his car, and led us all the way home. This is how he will be remembered - through his kindness he made the world a better place, and the people better versions of themselves.
