So sorry to hear of Tom's passing, we share many wonderful memories of great times with him. Lots of fun with the whole gang in our right after high school days. He was a great friend and we think of him often. RIP old friend, give Elva a big hug from us.

Very sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. He was very nice and I always enjoyed seeing him at family gatherings when I was younger. Sad we didn't keep in touch in recent years. We shared a sad day together. Aunt Elva and my Dad passed on the same day. I know they will both greet him in heaven.
