I'm so happy how Tom (Grandpa-T) navigates and takes care of your cancer needs. He has been through many challenges for many years, always finding a positive outcome.

Tom is an inspiration to SO many! Whether he knows it or not, he is loved, admired, and cherished just for being himself.

Tom (Grandpa-T) writes some of the most powerful messages I have ever read. Having “beat” cancer five years ago, and had a brother who lost his battle to cancer 15 years ago- every single word Tom writes and speaks hasad so much meaning. Words to live by for me and so many others. I thank Tom for taking the time to put his thoughts on paper and share with us.

Kristen B.

Tom's calling is to write and share with others. He writes and speaks with very powerful heart felt words that make me take pause to what’s important! Thank you Tom and God bless you!

Knowledge is power. And Tom (Grandpa-T) is heroic at what he is doing. Tom has the awareness to shift when needed... to seek out the best way to do what is needed and follow through. We respect and admire Tom so much!

join the Living Connected Community

The Living Connected Community is not a group you join—it’s a way people choose to show up in the world, together. It can be anywhere like the Red Chair Lounge in Naples, NY.

At its core, it’s a community of people who prioritize connection over isolation, presence over performance, and meaning over speed.
