Sorry to read of Tom's passing. We are thinking of you as we are in Florida and won't be able to come to the service. We remember all the good times we had with Jane and Tom at Gun Lake.
Prayers,
Richard & Nelva

Thoughts and prayers are being sent to all of you from central Wisconsin. Memories of Uncle Tom have been playing over in my mind. He tried to teach me to drive a stick shift so I could buy a manual transmission 1978 Mustang...we decided an automatic would be best! Love to you Aunt Jane, M.J., Jim and Jackie.
