Tom will be greatly missed. He was such a good man and dedicated husband, father and grandfather. All of you in his family are in my prayers for God's peace and comfort. We know his suffering has ended and he is a new spirit with the Lord.

Greg and I are so sorry to hear about the loss of Uncle Tom. We are so glad we were able to spend time together with him, and with Auntie Audrey, Deb and Lynn, and Chris and Sareena, in September of 2017. We had a wonderful time telling old stories, and laughing a lot. We enjoyed meeting Uncle Tom's sister, Joyce McMicken and her husband. Though he wasn't able to see him in person, Uncle Tom was able to see pictures of his adorable new Great-Grandson, Nathan Louis Rockefeller. Uncle Tom was a sweet, kind, and good man and we both loved him. We pray for comfort for Auntie Audrey and all of the family. He will be missed.
