Not sure what to say?

Uncle Tom was not just an uncle, he was a great friend. We shared many common interests. When I used to live upstairs from Him and Aunt Joann on Rockwell st, we spent many evenings after work watching Star Trek and talking outer space stuff.

Veronica and Dave my heart breaks for you and your family at this very difficult time. I’ve been thinking about all the silly jokes and things he used to do to us when we were younger. He was such a jokester. I will miss him so much. He called and sang happy birthday to me this year and I was lucky enough to get him on my video and saved it. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I love you all so much ❤

To all of Uncle Tom’s family, too many to mention. My memories of Uncle Tom go back a long long way. Every memory of him has been relative to him being happy and funny. I always enjoyed his company and looked forward to seeing him at the family get togethers. He always reminded me of my Dad and they always joked around together. I’m going to miss him very much and will always remember him in prayers. Rest in peace my man and God bless you forever.

Sending love and light..may fond memories bring you comfort! So very sorry for your loss.

Veronica, Dave and Family, I am so so so sorry for your loss of your dad. My thoughts and are with you all at this time of sorrow. Love you all ❤
