    I wrote the script to one 0f the last films he appeared in (Love in vengeance) and was looking forward to a sequeal before his untimely demise.
    He can only be described as a perfect gentleman and worthy for me to call him a friend.While thanking God for the opportunity he had to leave a treasure of lasting legacies for mankind, i pray He forgive him any sins and grant him a beautiful rest

    why do God sometimes don’t allow men to finish thier purpose on earth. TOM was really talented and to me he didn’t get to 1/4 of it. TOM WEST if really there is a city of gold up there, may GOD place you there. I will forever remember you

    The death of any man diminishes me; because I am a part of humanity.
    Others can learn too: it is appointed unto man once to die and after death comes JUDGEMENT.
    For we must all face the JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST. ARE YOU, (I mean YOU) ready to face GOD???????????…………………………………
