How could an orphaned little boy grow up to be such a good father? My Dad was exceptional in every aspect of his life, but especially as a father to his kids,and husband to their Mom. Theirs was a union that inspired strong marriages for all their daughters. I am so lucky to have had him as my Dad.

Tom was an officer and a gentlemen, a hero that fought for our country through many wars. We were very proud to have known him. May he rest in peace.
