Dear Ann, Allison and Tommy, You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband and father. He was one of a kind! Something told me to look for an obituary for him today and my hunch was right! I know that you have wonderful memories of good times together and hope that those will help you continue through your grief process. May the support of others and knowing that they care also help carry you through this difficult time. You are all in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, healthy and safe.
Love,

Tommy was a fun loving guy with an awesome heart. I looked up to him since he was the oldest cousin, and loved our visits to Winchester when we could spend time together. God Bless.
