Im sorry to hear of Toms passing. I served with him at KI Sawyer AFB in the late 70s.I remember Tom and Sylvia from Guinn Baptist Church. When ever ee had one of those hymn signs where we would get to pick songs Tom would always select All Hail The Power of Jesus Name. He lived not too far from me whis that I could have found him before he passed.

We´ve been friends for more than 50 years. No time on earth is long enough with those we love. We´ve laughed together, cried together and prayed together. Nothing could have prepared our hearts to say goodbye, but we know y´all are together in a better place. To the family, we´re here for you.
Love y´all lots.
