To The Haxton Family: I knew Tom, going all the way back to the Assumption Church in Providence. We stayed in touch over the years, lunching at the Old Canteen, Twin Oaks and like places. He was fun to be with and always enjoyed a good joke. Offering some of his own, to the delight of those he was with. My the special things about Tom live on in your hearts as they will in mine.
