My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I enjoyed my visits at Harry's Bar and going golfing with Tom. We always had a great time on the golf course. And we told lots of stories amongst us. He certainly will be missed. God bless you Tom.

This is heart breaking I am so sorry. Uncle Tom/Tom was funny, crazy and all around great Uncle/brothers-in-law. No matter what he could make you laugh and his stories. He will be missed terribly. He is no longer in pain and is back where he belongs alongside Aunt Donna.
Please let us know if you need anything.
Love Tina and Uncle Ray
