Tom Nice (2.14.1946 – 2.04.2016)
I sadly
reported early last month on the passing of Tom Nice, taken all too soon from
this world by cancer. Tom’s greatest gift to those he left behind was his acute
appreciation for how much fulfillment we can find by simply enjoying the good things life
has to offer. I don’t know if I ever saw Tom when he wasn’t happy, relaxed, and
savoring the moment. He was an enlightened being.
Tom’s
family invites those who knew him to join them in celebrating Tom’s life at an
informal gathering on Saturday, April 9.
The event will take place at 1:00 PM on that day at Shelter #2 in Eugene ’s Alton Baker Park .
It will be an opportunity for everyone to share a favorite memory or story
about Tom. I’m looking forward to hearing all of them— Tom was funny, quirky, compassionate,
and intellectual —so I’m certain many of the stories will surprise and amuse me.
Bring a
hearty appetizer (finger food) to share with everybody, as well as your
favorite beverage (alcohol permitted).
Tom
supported several causes and organizations. If you’d like to make a donation in
Tom’s memory, please consider giving to one of the following:
Celebrations of life are always moments in which to stop and smell the roses, and discover happiness in being connected, generous, and kind. Tom would want us to do nothing less in his memory.
What: Celebration of Life for Tom Nice
When: Saturday, April 9 – 1:00 PM
Where: Alton Baker
Park
