  3. My deepest condolences to the entire Linklater family. I am so grateful that I got to know Tom and spend time with him & your whole family. I have great memories of trips to NOLA, pizza cook-offs during the Holidays, parties, and just hanging out with Tom and your family. We would run into each other at the gym & grocery store over the years, and I always enjoyed our conversations. I will miss him and my heart just breaks for your family. He was a great man and I just loved him….

  4. We are sadden to know this news of Toms passing.
    He was a great friend to the Butler Longhorn Museum & to so many of our members.
    Tom was a stand up gentleman in everything he was involved with- he never met a stranger and so very kind.
    We wish many hugs to his family.❤️
