To the Smach Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. We all know Tom was a wonderful person. He was a fighter, so courageous! Mary you fought with him the whole way, you are a wonderful wife and friend. Tom also loved his girls, Meghan and Carla so much. I remember seeing him at all of their soccer games, cheering them on. Tom will be missed by all of us.

May God Bless You,

Laurie Jones and Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his family. God bless all of you.

I was so sorry to learn from Karen about the loss of Tom. I can still picture his smiling face as if it was yesterday, but the very sad news of his passing shocks me back to the reality that over 20 years have passed. I pray that God will bless and comfort you and your family.

Dear Mary,

I was deeply saddened to learn of Tom’s death and I would like to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family.

Over the time I gave Tom a ride home I remember how he used to proudly talk everyday about Carla and Meghan. We would compare stories about our children, their accomplishments,the growing pains, etc…but most of all the joy they give us. He was indeed a proud dad.

May God Bless you at this sad time and may the wonderful memories make you strong throughout the days ahead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,

The Montpellier Family

Dear Smach family

I am sorry about your loss. I worked with Tom for just a short time at Aeroturbine but I learned from him and knew he was a proud man the way he would talk about his family. Just remember the great times you shared with him and we shall all meet again. God bless you all and I shall keep him in my heart as well.

I am very sorry for your loss. Tom was a wonderful man. I had the pleasure of working with him at Aeroturbine in the Overhaul shop. He was my boss and a real good one. He was always helpful and stood up for his employees. I know all of us in the Overhaul shop became real attached to Tom. We all enjoyed our talks with Tom and enjoyed playing jokes with one another. We’ve had many laughs that we will never forget.You could always talk to him if you had a problem and he always gave good advice.He also spoke a lot about his family and dog. Tom was a very proud father and spoke a lot about Meghan & Carla. He would tell us all sorts of stories. Some were very funny. He would always tell us about their swim meets and if they had gotten a good grade on their tests in school. He showed us Meghan & Carla’s school pictures. He especially loved those chocolate shakes that his girls would make for him. He also would give us chocolate or share his chocolate pudding. Tom gave me my yellow band which I wear everyday.Now I will wear it proud and think of my friend Tom.

Tom Smach was a special person and he will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Smach Family,

Everything he did, he did it for you. He was a good husband, a proud father and a wonderful man. I will always admire the courage, strength, and positive attitude Tom had. He taught me to be a fighter and that if you fall ten times, you pick yourself up eleven. Tom, you will be missed. Girls, may he always live in your hearts. God bless you.

To the Smach Family,

I am very sorry for your loss, and at Aeroturbine, it is my loss too. I lost a good fiend, and an excellent boss who cared for his workers. Tom always had time for me when I needed help. I will miss our morning chats about his family. From the beginning of his battle, I was always there for him and admire his courage and strenght. God bless you during these tough times.

To the Smach Family,

Our deepest condolences to the Smach Family and to anyone who had the distinct pleasure of knowing Tom. As you read through this guest book, there is one thing in common that everyone noticed instantly about Tom. His great smile, his laugh, his professionalism, his love for his family and his willingness to help others.Our blessings go out to the Smach family. Tom will truly be missed. I had the pleasure to meet and interact with Tom on several occasions and found him to be a very caring and dedicated person while officiating with Tom. The Smach family as well Florida Gold Coast Swimming Community was blessed to have Tom as a father, husband and a friend. We will always remember Tom as an outstanding person who truly had a passion to serve the swimming

community. Our deepest sympathy to your family on your loss. We will be praying for God’s comfort for you during these sad days.

Dear Mary: My thoughts are with you and your family. I am terribly sorry for your loss. Please remember that you heart is the best scrapbook you will ever have. Any time you feel lonely, just look deep inside and you’ll be together.

Karen Lise’s eldest daughter

Please accept my condolences for the passing of your beloved Tom. I enjoyed his fellowship and working as an official with him, and wished as with so many other also that time constraints would have allowed me to know him better. Having recent experience with such a loss, I know words echo hollow, but they echo. The pain is real, but the memories and impact he had on your lives is real also. Cherish and relive them. I regret that I could not have been in attendance last night. God Bless.

I was so sorry to hear of Tom’s death.My deepest sympathy to your family on your loss.

I met Tom a year ago when I started at Aeroturbine, in that year I worked frequently with Tom. He was always a great source of information and knowledge. I know we will miss him and his skills. I offer my sincere condolences to the Smach family and hope that the future brings peace.

Dear Mary, Carla and Meghan,

The death of your husband, father and my cousin and friend is almost too great to comprehend. He was always a special person and the family has always been proud of him.

Tom was so proud of you three and he was blessed, Mary, to have you to share his life. And blessed again with two beautiful daughters. I know that you made him very happy. My deepest sympathy.

With Love,

Nancy
