My wife and I joined the Seacoast HOG family less than a year ago. We have been blessed to have known a kind and gentle man. We wish I could have known him better. As long as Tom is in our thoughts, he will always be with us.
This was a photo I took of Tom in June 2019. He looked like a brand new man! Such a sudden and unexpected passing of the Gentle Giant! He was always so excited to get a great photo of him riding his motorcycle. I’m going to miss him! Rest in peace dear friend! Hugs to heaven, Maria & Lee
Tom was a great guy and a great friend to everyone who had a chance to meet or ride with him. Breakfast rides will never be the same again. Rest In Peace pal!
To Tom’s Family,
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Tom was a gentle giant always leading us to an adventure and making sure we were good to find our way back home.
He will be missed, my God bless you Tom Jones!.❤️
Tom and I started riding motorcycles together in the early 60’s and reconnected 15 years ago when both of us were able to get back into it. We shared many destinations together throughout New England and during the winter we enjoyed many a Friday lunch at Woodmans in Essex. I’ll miss you endless enthusiasm for motorcycles and your good company and stories of the past good times. I’m sure you’re in a good place. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for sharing Tom with our Harley family! I will always remember his excitement every time I took a photograph of him, especially on his bike. My way of paying it forward in the world. Tom paid it forward by always listening, sharing stories in our lives, riding with us, and always doing all he could to make us safe (even being in the tail position on rides). We truly feel like we’ve lost a friend and family member. For Linda, your daughters and children, know that you are always part of our Harley family! We are here for you.
LOVE this!! Thank you for sharing such precious memories!
