Dr. Tom Garsombke was more than a dedicated player at Blackburn Tennis Center...he was part of its heart and history. In his “senior years,” Tom became a Blackburn Legend, winning city championships for ALTA, USTA, and T2, and forging friendships that were family.
In lieu of flowers, our family invites you to honor Tom’s memory with a donation to Blackburn Tennis Center. Your contributions will help fund:
- Small Commemoration at Blackburn in Tom’s honor – A lasting tribute where his friends, family, and fellow players can remember him.
- Court and Facility Upgrades – Improvements that will benefit the entire Blackburn community for years to come, keeping the place Tom loved thriving for future generations of players.
Tom believed tennis wasn’t just about winning points—it was about connection, joy, family, friends, and always striving to be your best. The courts were his second home, and the community there brought him immense joy, purpose, and pride. With your help, we can keep that spirit alive on the courts he loved most. Thank you for your tribute.
