Tom was a hero to me... as I watched him go through his last year with the greatest dignity and grace. Tom showed me how to walk through life even in the face of great difficulty. I will miss our talks... Your cousin-in-law, Carol

I feel a great loss for Tom's friends and family. My two children, Thom and Carolyne,loved their father dearly and I know they will miss him. I admire Rizah for her love for Tom and her devotion to him in his times of illness and in health. Tom is now at peace.

Tom was a great guy, and a man's man. I wish he'd never left Wisconsin, for as it has turned out he'd be a neighbor and good friend now that we've retired here. Sincere condolences to the family - Sonnie & Bo
