I wanted to thank all of you for your kind words. My father was a good father who loved Kyle and I very much.
All of the comments we've received via online or written in a card proves exactly what I already know, he was loved not only by his family, but his friends as well.
Thanks again. God Bless.

Grew up riding motorcycles with Tom around the Mckennan neighborhood. Still remember his yellow Yamaha 125!
They were good times indeed. Quick with a smile, a tough tennis player, and just a good hearted guy.
My best to Tom's family.

I remember Tom as a little boy in the McKennan neighborhood and then met him again at Big Stone Lake in the 1990's. He was always lots fun and pleasant. Sorry to hear he passed so young. Pat Reagan.

I am so sorry to lose one of our generation of Ulven cousins and am remembering so many fun and funny times! That smiley photo reminds me of the happy kid I used to babysit and the best baby Jesus (Christmas '57) ever!
Peace and Love to all of you,
Jon, Gloria, Matt and Todd

Even in hard times Tom was a cheerful soul with a quick and incorrigible wit. I truly loved the man. Now Tom, Dan, and Jeff are once again together. Rest in peace my friend.
