Very sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. Lots of great conversations and memories with Tom and Bill over many, many years.
FOND MEMORIES of my life with Tom. Blessed to know the family and the time I got to spend with them. Dana
Smiles overtake sadness when thinking of all the fun we had. So much that the family wouldn’t let us leave the party to get more liquid refreshments. We would be gone for a couple of hours.Wonder what we were doing…..????? You will always be my brother. Much love!!
Tom was a real friend…. I will miss him. My condolences to Deb and the rest of the family.
Tom was always:
Bright of Smile
Hardy of Laugh
Warm of Heart
Kind & Compassionate
Tom was a Round Peg in a World of
Square Holes.
Rest in Peace Ole Buddy
