So sorry to hear about Thomas's passing. I think I missed it when it happened. I knew Thomas from an online community that we belonged to. I loved reading about his life and his jobs and his community after Sandy and how he loved his family. I am sure he is missed. He was a good man.

I first met Tom in 2004 when my wife Laura and I bought out house in Sea Bright two doors down from Tom. The front "lawn" of the house we bought was once a rock scape, but had become a crop of weeds growing through all of the stones. It was awful looking and I decided a lawn would look much nicer. So, I undertook immediately to removing the rocks wheelbarrow-by-wheelbarrow full from the front of our house to the alley beside our house. The top layer of rocks came up rather easily; but the further down I got, the more difficult it became b/c they were caked in the dirt. So, I got my hose out and used the water from the hose to separate the stones from the dirt they were embedded in. Throughout the duration of my project there was Tom about 30ft away meticulously washing his car each day as part of his routine. One day he came over, introduced himself to his new neighbor and dryly said to me "You realize that those stones aren't going to grow any......you're just wasting your time on them." "Yeah, yeah." I thought, and I persisted in my chore. Each of the days I was out there, so too was Tom washing his car. Tom stopped by regularly to survey my progress and chat a bit about this and that. I grew to enjoy the parallel trajectories that my rock washing and Tom's car washing shared. After many days I finally got all those stones out from the front yard. I then carefully spread a bunch of soil and seeds to begin the last phase of my front yard project. Victory was soon to be mine. Weeks passed, and low and behold I grew my first lawn. Tom stopped over again to congratulate me, as did another neighbor who politely offered to lend me some fertilizer to feed my new lawn. Now, I never had to care for a lawn before this, and thinking I was doing the correct thing I spread handfuls of the fertilizer all over the newly grown grass. The next weekend I arrived at the house to find a dried-out, brown dead lawn. As I stood there in my misery, Tom came walking up beside me. We shared a brief quiet moment looking at the dead grass together, and then Tom broke the silence. "You know what?" "What?" I replied. "You make one hell of a rock farmer, but I don't think this grass thing is for you. I'd bring all those stones back if I were you."
I'll miss those moments of sharing a brief interaction with Tom, that always provided appropriate levity. I'll miss having our resident block party photographer on hand for our Labor Day parties. I'll miss having one of the "old timers" on the block to share the history of the neighborhood with the "newer folks." Thank you Tom for the many years of being a great neighbor. You've made your mark on our community and in this life. God Speed!

I am sorry for your loss of your father. I will always remember him reading his books laying 12” above them on the beach so he wouldn’t admit he’d need glasses and trips to the laundromat and ice cream. Your Dad was a very unique man and truly treasured life. He will be missed.

Growing up spending summers next to Tom & Barbara Scriven was a gift. Mr. Scriven always made me laugh and think. He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.

Tom is someone I met through his involvement in the Sea Bright Library. He was a good neighbor to me helping with questions when I needed input for a wide range of issues. I valued his kindness and over the years counted on his assistance. His love for you, his family, and the sense of pride your accomplishments gave him were evident whenever he spoke of you. Please accept my condolences at this difficult time.

Tom was my treasured neighbor for 17 years and I was really blessed to get to know him and his wife Barbara. He was a real gentleman with an amazing sense of humor. I will forever miss him but know that his faith has lead him to the Lord and back with his beautiful wife forever watching Yankees games on a sunny back deck somewhere. Rest in peace Tom. XOX Karolyn
