My Prayers
I offer my deepest sympathy and prayers to Tom’s family. I knew him thru business and was very appreciative of his efforts on behalf of our company.

Blessiings to all
Whoever reads this, we want you to know that Tom was my late husband’s great friend and they had much fun enjoying playing tennis together. Before that I, Minnie Mehuron, and my daughter Mary took yoga lessons with him from Rev. Pat Barker at New Thought Unity Center. Even though he and Grace, while she was living, were out of town frequently, they usually attended Christmas Eve Services at Unity. We all three thought Tom was a very kind friend and Mary and I will miss him very much.
Best Guy Ever
Tom Tate was, to me, an inspiration on positive, healthy living. He lifted up so many, encouraged so many of us to be our best selves.He related to conservatives, liberals, Christians, Yogis, Atheists, vegans, non-vegans. As a Buddhist, I believe Tom represented the best in Christian living.You cannot put a label on Tom. I know so many that recall the kindness he showed them, with encouraging words, acts of kindness. He and Grace were a special couple. My wife Claudia and I both have the highest regard for this wonderful man, and have fond memories of good times on vegan cruises, potlucks, and even fun times visiting him in Florida, and he visiting us in Cincinnati. I especially will miss our Thursday lunches at the Loving Hut Vegan Cafe. I know he is in a good place. Peace to all beings.
You will be missed
Murray & I will miss:
Your smile
Your endless enthusiasm
Your constant quest for knowledge
We will treasure the memories of the time we spent
With you and Gracie !!
Good bye dear friend
World won’t be the same without you!
We will miss your welcoming smile and positive attitude along with your interesting stories. Will always remember our last time seeing you last spring when we shared dinner at Darbsters and you being an excellent Lake Worth tour guide. Thanks for sharing time with us and being so kind and helpful to our daughter after she moved to FL. Peace to both of you and now you can rejoice being in Heaven together.
