Uncle Tommy you will be greatly missed, your love of live, your joy of dogs and the way you made people feel happy love you always

I first met Tom at a church concert in Watertown around eight years ago. I was visiting from Ottawa, Canada and I didn't know anyone at the post-concert reception. He was so kind and welcoming, as he introduced himself and chatted with me. From then, I had breakfast with him many times when I visited Watertown over the years, including most recently earlier this month. He followed my travels on Facebook and I sent him postcards from my trips. Tom was such a kind, good man! My deepest...

I’ve know Tom for many years. He always had a smile and I kind word for everyone! He will be missed.

Tom was a wonderful man. I met Tom and Mary Jane at the BG's and also the Ham Jam. He and Mary Jane loved to dance. He used to love to fast dance with others. He always had a smile on his face. He and Mary Jane loved their dogs. He will be deeply missed. My Condolences and prayers goes out to Mary Jane and the rest of the family. I will miss his messages on Face Book. He is in Heaven with my Mom. He and Mary Jane were always so good to her.

What a wonderful man Tom was. We grew up together on Mechanic St. and life was so simple back then. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mary Jane who was Tommy's constant companion. He will be truly missed by all his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear the news of Tom's passing. I met Tom and Mary Jane through the Busy Bg's. My admiration of Tom is that you could always count on that beautiful smile even going through all the pain he endured towards the end of his life. We are sure going to miss you Tom. Prayers go out to Mary Jane and the family.

I will truly miss my friend. I always enjoyed our times together with him, Mary Jane and my wife, especially during fellowship time after church services or we would see him driving the dogs around town and he would give you the biggest wave and smile, like it was the first time you ever met. He made everyone feel special. God Bless my friend and may God comfort Mary Jane during this time.
