Dear Auntie, Tommy and Anthony.
I'm going to miss Uncle so much. When I would come to the house all the little things he say and do I'll never forget.
I though of him more like a brother then an Uncle.
Uncle when you see my father give him a big hug and kiss for me. Uncle I'll always be there for Auntie and the boys. Love you and may you rest in peace.
God bless your family always.
Love Dawn and Fred

Dearest Linda, Tommy, Anthony, Thelma, and family: I am filled with deep sorrow upon hearing about Tommy's passing. I truly liked him. He was genuine, gentle, kind, caring, and was easy to smile with a twinkle in his eye. I'm positive my dad will take good care of him especially since Tommy meant a lot to him. Tommy, my heart is with you and your loving family.
