Tom was the most caring, gentle man. His love for the many young fathers and their families he supported was only surpassed by his love for his beautiful family. Kine and your family please accept my sincerest, deepest condolences and also the love and prayers from the Dads of Gawler group families in South Australia. Tom was a true and beloved friend and colleague to me and all those who knew and worked with him. RIP Tom F – Dad Legend xxx

Dear Nat
This is Esther. i am so sorry that your dad passed away. I know I only met him once but I think he is very nice. I know you must be very sad and it was right before father’s day. i think the best way to move forward is just to feel sad because if you never feel sad about it you can’t more forward. I want you to know that I think of you every day.

To Tom, an amazing, passionate, kind, generous, caring and helpful person who really made such a positive impact to the community! Words don’t do it justice!
It was such a pleasure to have met and made a great connection at a Neighbourhood House! An outstanding technology tutor, who did an amazing job at helping people with understanding technology. Tom was also being an amazing mentor to me, in teaching me how to effectively help people with using and understanding technology. And a great president on the committee of governance!
Sending condolences to his wife Kine and his daughters during this time.
