Tom was my godfather and my uncle. Everyone who met him truly had nothing but good to say about him. He loves his family, friends and country and they loved him back. There's nothing more you can ask for in life. We miss you, Uncle Tom.

Uncle Tom was my godfather and a man I always loved and looked up to. He cared so much for his family and was full of pride for them. He never met anyone who didn't like him and those sparkling blue eyes. We miss you, Uncle Tom.
