Tom personally touched my life tremendously. He reached his hand out to me on several occasions and has played a major part in my sobriety. He not only told me but showed me how to be of service in all areas of my life. I always took his advice and he never steered me wrong. I cherish our talks and will remember them always. Thank you for your service and being a true example! Till we meet again my friend.

Dad, I love and miss you so much. You weren’t just my dad, you were my best friend. My rock. You helped me become a better and stronger person. When I lost my way you helped steer me back in the right direction and made me who I am today. I am a better person because of YOU! It doesn’t feel the same at all without you here! :-(.
But I miss you dearly and love you with ALL my heart and soul. Thank you for NEVER giving up on me and loving me no matter what.. I LOVE YOU DADDY ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Are We Immortal Or Eternal?
Immortality implies that we keep
On living although we die;
While the word “eternal” may be defined
As before we were born we had a Mind.
Death is a process that Spirit goes through,
One chapter in volumes of books;
In spite of how Man may see himself
He is never the way he looks.
Prior to stories of angels and ghosts
We were “here” and then “there” all the time;
All the illusion and mental confusion
Are tricks Humans play on their Mind.
If I think of myself or my Life as a void
It may very well prove to be true;
To decide I am lonely, sad, empty or broken
Is defining small scenes as grand views.
Everyone tends to get side-tracked by thinking
That being alive is a chore;
When I stop for ten seconds to look for my purpose
I find Life can have meaning and more.
Love, support and compassion for stranger or friend
becomes instant Self gratification;
I am grateful and changed as the Cosmos unwraps
The gift of eternal Creation.
Before you were born you were well on your way,
Spirit preceded arrival;
When you leave I will see you again in True Form
For the Soul is designed for survival.

Thomas was an AWESOME soul and the most humblest human I know. He was the epitome of AA. I totally admired and looked up to him. He was so loving, honest and real. I am so grateful that our paths crossed in this lifetime. He will be missed immensely! I love you Thomas K. Wolf!

Tom was a legend, and when I finally met him he lived up to it in every way. He had a calm peace, and he had an innate ability to cut through the crap and get to the meat of a matter. I will miss all of that – and his kindness and quick smile. To Linda and the girls – surround yourselves with the love that the many feel for him – because it is certainly out there, and it is his legacy and it will be there for a long, long time.

My deepest condolences to the family. Thank you for your service, Tom. Always greeted me with a smile. Bless his memories.

I remember my first day at triad and an AA meeting at that. He greeted me with open arms with that presence he exuded of no judgement and honesty. He also gave me an AA sister’s of sobriety coin. You will be missed but your memory and impact you made to so many will live on forever!

Going to miss my buddy. From the day we met, we bonded as two New Castle guys. I’ll miss his kindness, smile and the laughter that we shared. Especially his greeting every time we met, “Daniel my brother…”. So glad that our paths crossed and I’ll see you on the other side buddy.
