To Georgette, Eric, Chris & Michelle, my deepest sympathies are with you. Tom was a very good neighbor and the go-to-guy for our family portraits. I will think of the man behind the camera when I look at this photo.

Michelle, Mrs. Pike and all of the Pike Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. So many memories I hold close to my heart involve the Pikes and Lakes. I am smiling right now just thinking of Mr. Pike skydiving with Michelle. May it bring you some comfort in knowing so many are thinking of you during this most difficult time.

Great memories of all the flowers Tom gave me. Tom and Georgette are always so welcoming as part of my "Mitscher Court family". Thanks, Tom, for the dance at my Dad's birthday party!

Our Sympathies are with you Georgette and your family. Tom was a good friend, especially when we were growing up. I saw my first TV program with Mrs. Pike, Bricky, Tom & Gary, it was the Army & Navy Football game, so long ago.
Tom, John Ebert & I would get the springboard out of the gym in high school, we thought we could fly. All will be sadly missed, but we know they go to a better place. Our prayers are with you.

Georgette and the entire Pike Family,

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are very saddened by Tom's death. He was such a wonderful man. We enjoyed him so much! We will miss him and his twinkling eyes and chuckle--and great sense of humor. And I know that my kids always thought of him as "their" grandpa too--and he always treated them that way! The Zureks
