FROM RICHARD

By way of introduction, I was a close friend of Tom and his family for the last 17 years of his life. I traveled the world with him, traded jokes, and once tried to steal his truck – for his own good of course. For the last few of those years I moved to within two miles of his house, honored to be his caretaker. I was with him until a few hours of his passing.

Having listened to Tom chatter on throughout those years, sometimes all night, I’m now using this blog to share much of what I learned from my incredible friendship with a man who changed my life.

The fun part of this picture is that Tom is wearing his work clothes – and so am I.

    On Mt. Taburno in Italy, in the year 1401, a young deaf/mute girl named Agnese saw the Madonna, gained hearing and speech, and led her village to a miracle. This is how Tom came to know of her and the hidden statue which still holds relevance for our world today. Mt. Taburno is over 4500…

  • Life Review, Karma & Intentions

    Perhaps you’ve heard that your life flashes before your eyes at the moment of your death.

  • The Practical Spirituality of Santa

    I’ve been portraying Santa for over twenty years. I don’t know if my beard turned naturally white because I was meant to play Santa or, if because of playing Santa, my beard decided to join in the fun. Either way here I am, and delightedly so. I was too busy during the Christmas season to…
