"Woke up at the Deer Park, with a crab cake in my hand. Whose crabcake, what crabcake? I don't know anything about any crabcake! Do you, YOU, feel like Tom U.?" - The Deer Park Crew Ode to Tom U. after he was fired for eating an unauthorized crabcake. You were loved, man! A legend, a fixture. Like Earth, you once described me to a girl as "Harmless". Beers with you and Dee on the night before stir, we saw you off man, we very few. And after, when I saw you at work, I ran to the hiring manager and yelled, "That guy you just interviewed is a genius. He'll re-wire your whole department." "That's what I'm afraid of." YOu don't know what you missed "Irv" After meeting Snake, I said "Tom, I'm getting old. I got to get me an animal name too." And you told me your own totem spirit. Petting the Beagle on the Pencader lawn on a glorious sunny spring day while I was blowing off work. Sorry to be finding out just now, but I had a dread memory, and I just had to look. Love you, man. You're still a part of every part of the hologram.

I am Tom’s cousin, Mary Jo Uffner-Leiss, I seen him years ago as kids. I just found out about his passing this evening on Zoom with my siblings. My sister Janet, who was named after his mother, found out from Uncle Frank in church Easter Sunday. Uncle Frank does our genealogy of our Uffner relation. We became estranged for years. When his father, Tomas Sr. passed away, he came to his funeral and he gave me his address and phone number to keep in touch. He had a gentle way about him just like his father when he spoke. May God Bless you Tom. R.I.P.

Tom could be a jerk, but he was my kind of jerk. I'm really going to miss him.

Tom always made me laugh especially when hanging out at the Deer Park.
I'll see you on the other side my friend.

My condolences to Tom's loved ones. Tom was a brilliant computer programmer who helped me many late nights in the computer lab. I learned a lot from him. I shared a house with him in the late '80s, from which I have many fond memories.

in honor of Thomas.

Tom was one of my best friends throughout a good part of my life. He has my influence my life in many ways. It's still very painful for me. Countless memories of Harrington, hanging out at the Deer Park, computer lab, Madison Drive, and just spending a lot of time together. I will miss you very much
