We were so glad we were able to visit Tom and Marilyn in October at their home in Evart. Had a great visit and tour of their property. We have loved the Broders family since our son Tim and Scott became friends in grade school. Our hearts go out to them at this sad time. Hugs to all, Al and Nancy Reeser.

So sorry that this kind and fun person has passed on. He was my daughter Shana's father in law and we had a nice family circle. Always great times together. Jim and I visited Tom and Marilyn several years ago and had a wonderful time at their beautiful river home in upper MI. I am thankful he was not sick long and slipped away in his sleep. Tom Rest in Peace at your Lord's feet and enjoy being with Sherri and your parents and friends that went before you. Marilyn, Scott, Shana, Megan,...

knew Tom through his son, Scott, who is my brother-in-law. I would see him at holidays and family events when he and Marilyn were visiting NC. I knew little about him other than he had a love of travel, enjoyed driving his motor home, and raised a son who he could be proud of for so many reasons. Marilyn, Scott, Shana, Megan, Hannah, Evan, and Sarah, I am so very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy and I wish you love and light and comfort from your grief. With so much love,

Tom was always there for our family to help in hard times or to celebrate the good. His grandchildren loved going to Michigan during the summer and spending time with him. So thank you Tom for all the gifts you shared through the years. We...
