My Uncle "Tom" I've been thinking what a wonderful & loving person he was. Also what a great straight faced comedian he could be. I never knew if he was kidding me or not, and then that grin would appear. We will all miss him very much. Your loving Niece, Linda

He was my cousin, but he was closer to my Dad's than mine. I admired him for so many reasons, just one being his service to his country. I loved him very much. I did not talk often with him, but our conversations ended with 'I love you'. I will miss him.

My only uncle, and a joy to me. We talked on the phone often and we both loved this contact. We shared a birthday( I was born on his 17th Birthday.We always ended our phone conversations with the words ''I love you" and we meant it. I will miss him greatly. Rest in peace to this dear man. Smooth sailing for this Old Sailor.
