It was so strange to hear about Tom's passing. We had not communicated in quite a while but he had been on my mind heavy the past couple of weeks. Along with his other talents he had a great love for family research which we shared. (The note someone left regarding the legendary Fletcher 5 has really piqued my interest.) Know you will all miss him but he obviously left you some wonderful memories. Take care. Michelle Slabaugh

Tom was one of my favorite patients and I very much enjoyed the pleasure not only to work with him, but to have the chance to get to know him! He will be greatly missed, but I know that he is at peace. The entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Tom was a part of the legendary Fletcher Brothers and I looked up to them all as a child and enjoyed their humor and banter. As I got older, I loved listening to their stories; being a wonderful story teller was in their blood. As I raise my three boys, I think about the Fletcher 5, and how I can pass along their gifts and honor. No small task!! Uncle Tom, you will be missed.

Uncle Tom was an amazing man. He was an incredibly talented artist. He was an American Veteran. I remember him most as being very wise and calm. I will miss him dearly.

"Uncle" Tom taught my brother and me how to draw and paint in his basement classes. We LOVE art to this day. Thank you "Uncle" Tom. Mike and Mark Erp

Condolences from the Rogan family. We knew and enjoyed both Tom and Joyce, remembering our time when vacationing in Gatlinburg and the Smokies when the kids were small. Tom and Carl shared rides to work at Cincinnati Milacron for a number of years.
