Tom and I were in the Navy together and stationed at China lake California in the 70s. He was a great guy and a good friend. We spent many hours camping in the mountains and working on motorcycles. I will cherish those memories of the great times we had as young sailors.

I am saddened to hear of Tom's passing, which I learned from Tom Casalino. I went through 12 years of school with Tom - - I envied him his commute to St. James School - a walk across the street. He was a wonderful person and I have fond memories of him. My condolences to his entire family.

I am so saddened that the world has lost such a special person. We worked together over the years and every time was filled with the fun of Tom's upbeat humor and the creativity of doing fine work together. We even shot an Elvis impersonator in New York one time! Please be comforted with the knowledge that so many people loved your Tom and will miss him.

Tom and I opened up our studios together in the Colt Building - virtually 3 months apart in 1982. We were right next to each other "under the dome, down the left-hand hallway!". We became friends as well as friendly competitors and shared many good times for the 16 or so years we were neighbors. Tom, I"ll never forget the line Lee, the stylist gave the model for the surfboard shoot you were working on!!!!. My sincere condolences to all of the Derby family.

To All of Tommy Derby's Family, with Love from The McHugh Family:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May The Lord hold you in the palm of his hand.

To all my cousins and Uncle Tom -- and of course to all who knew and therefore loved him: I'm so very sorry. Tommy was such a special person. So talented, and just plain cool. And that mustache! I can't believe he was 56, since he seemed always ageless, young at heart for sure, and ever-evolving. I have many memories of him, all of them good, with his particular voice, him smiling and listening...and wisecracking in just about every one! I'm so sorry that I can't be there to share stories and hugs with you all in person. I really do wish I could. Love, Kenwyn

I offer my deepest sympathy to all the Derby Family.Tom will always be in my prayers. Although I haven't seen him since probably 1958, I have been keeping track of your family through your father. I, and my wife Patricia, who died last Dec., were Tom's godparents, and have always been interested in your lives.Saw Dad last week in Maine on a business trip, and he told me of the circumstances you all faced. God, in his wisdom, has a place for Tom,rest assured. Peg and Tom were very close friends of ours during college, and we tried to keep in touch for a long time. Remember to keep in touch as a family should. With much love remember Tom............
