Anthony paid tribute to Thom on Facebook, sharing photos of them together from One Life to Live.
“My dear friend of many years, actor #ThomChristopher passed today. He was always a gentleman, always supportive, and he and his wife Judith who proceeded him in death, where always gracious to me and welcoming. Thom and I worked together on the #abc daytime series #onelifetolive in the 1990s,” he wrote. “It was a wonderful time, difficult hours and long days, but joyful each minute.”
He continued, writing, “May Thom fly on Wings of Angels to be beside his beloved Judith, and may they enjoy each other’s company once again, beside the ‘Pearly Gates’ of heaven.”
A cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Our thoughts go out to everyone who knew and loved Thom at this difficult time. We hope that they find peace. RIP.
