I never personally met Tom but in the course of business talked to him on the phone countless times over many many years as we did "dealer trades". I would have recognized his voice anywhere. Tom never seemed rushed or hurried as those in the car business know you go non-stop as soon as you walk in the door and he always took the time to chat a bit about business. As I had left a voice message for Tom and he didn't return my call I thought that just isn't like Tom to not call back. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences and prayers to family and friends.

I worked at the same dealership with Tom, he was a hard working person, never let grass grow under his feet. He always said something that would make me smile or laugh!! Tom you will be deeply missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and co-workers at this difficult time.
Miss you

I met Tom 40 years ago while he was working for Creative Profit, a game and vending company. Later, we lived on the same street, Glacier Valley Rd., where my son was best friends with Tom's son, Matt. We bought a new Ford from Tom in 2007. Tom included my son Patrick on several golf outings and Judy and I appreciated his generosity. Our condolences to Julie and Matt.........Sincerely, the Klund family

Tom was a friend and co-worker for over 25 years. He set the bar high in his dedication to Kayser and customer service. He will definitely be missed by all who knew him. I will miss his smile and sense of humor. My sincere and deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
