Dear Joan:
We have been blessed to have had so many years of joyful shared experiences. Those warm memories will always give us some measure of comfort. Yet still, as Linda and Peter said to us, “It feels like an ace has been removed from the deck.” Tom truly was, in every way, an ace.
With much love,
Elizabeth and Bill

As a fellow Real Estate appraiser, I asked Tom many times for his thoughts and expertise on an appraisal I was having trouble with. He was always more than gracious in sharing his insight. We lost a true professional today.
