Farewell Tom and thank you for your friendship. I will never forget your welcoming smile and words when Lyn and I arrived in Ditchling 13 years ago and for all the challenges, fun and laughter we shared in preparing the Neighbourhood Plan and performing with the Ditchling Singers.

Kingsley Raffael

There is no doubts that I and everyone that knew you; will miss you deeply! I was lucky enough to have you as an uncle and Godfather and were and will remain my greatest role model. Even in my most "challenging" years you NEVER judged and only ever offered love and support unconditionally. I know that right now you will be sitting next to my Mum; filling her in on all the family news with a glass of red wine! Cheers Tom! All our love Kingsley & Pip xx

James Savage

Tom was my godfather for nearly 55 years. It is amazing that we stayed in touch and communicated regularly over such a long time. There were always great stories to share and I appreciated the words of advice from the old and wise.

Alan Rowland

As Tom's IT person/computer trainer, I was lucky to be in such commanding company. I hope he enjoyed the IT time as much as I did. He was thoughtful, funny, and taught me a thing or two. His courage at the end was a reminder of his ever-present strength of character. Tom, you will be missed.
