Tom's Family,
Tom was a valued friend for more than 50 years. As young persons, we shared so many good times in Saugatuck, a trip to Maine, and the Pier Marquette lounge. So sorry I can not express my sympathy to you in person.

We send our love to all of you during this time of loss. It was a joy for us to see Tom worshiping the Lord from the back of our church. Despite his many struggles the Lord's joy was visible on his face. Grace and peace and blessing to you all for the way you honored your father and special grandfather! Love,
How you can show support
