I was just thinking about Tom the other day. He had a voice like butter, and was quick witted and funny. He and i would bicker if the correct pronunciation of Pecan was Peeee-can (Tom's version) or Pe-Con (mine). We never did settle that debate. Though our job at West could be thankless, he took pride in his work. He really was a good guy. Also, in case you didn't know, he and Rose sure knew how to throw a festive holiday bash :). good times..Tom, you are missed. xo

Rose,I will remember both of you always. if it hadn't for the support you both gave me when I started selling insurance I never would have been able to work so long successfully. Thank you Rose for everything I learned because you were there. God bless you and keep you safe.

Rose~ My heart goes out to you. I have many fond and wonderful memories working at Dakotah/West with you and Tom. He was so knowledgable about everything, from cooking tips to selling insurance. I learned so much from him, and looked up to him. I will always remember your Christmas party, and Tom's amazing hot wings he was so proud of! My heart is saddened, and you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Rose, there is so much I want to say, but I don't know where to begin . I'm so sorry for your loss. Tom was a wonderful man. He was funny, sweet and kind. I will always remember how he loved to cook and entertain, his bacon wrapped scallops were perfection (and he knew it lol!) I am thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know and work with you both. Time will eventually heal, and you will be ok -big hug xo

Uncle Tom, I never told you how much you meant to me. I will always remember you. You taught me how to play cribbage, how to cook some amazing dishes and you taught me Telicherry is always the way to go. I remember swimming in the pool, watching sports and the very first 'word of the day' game when you challenged me to use the word 'impecunious'. I remember my cat Munch who adored you and typically slept with you after day one of meeting you. I remember you telling me to never wash my coffee cup and let it become seasoned over time. (sorry, I wash my cups). I remember having had bad days and you were just there- it always comforted me so very much. No words were ever needed for you to make me feel better. Thanksgiving dinners. It's a true statement of it's own. We may have grown apart but you still will always have a place in my heart. I love you I pray our loving Father and Savior sends His angels to carry your soul from this earth to the heavenly place of eternal and everlasting life. Let family and friends who have passed before in faith be reunited in joy with you as you are welcomed in the warm embrace by our Heavenly Father.

I will surely miss Tom. I worked with him at Dakotah/West. He was my hero, I wanted to be able to sell insurance on the phone just like him. He was a very nice man and a good teacher! We loved to come over the Christmas parties that Rose and Tom held for years. He was an awesome cook. Condolences to all the family.
