I enjoyed growing up with Tom. He was a great cousin and friend . Sorry that the winter weather keeps me from driving to Michigan to be with family. I know Tom will keep them laughing in heaven.

Our Buddy. You are soooo missed already. Especially that 'Craddock look'. Love you.

I was so blessed to have you as a Godfather and Uncle. This is so unfair, you were taken from us to early. Christmas Eve will never be the same without you. I love you Uncle Tom, may you find peace in heaven.

I will really miss Uncle Tom. He was such a kind, fun loving man who loved his family more than anything. I've spent my whole life with the family over Christmas at Auntie Carole and Uncle Tom's house, and those are some of my best memories. Uncle Tom was so good to my mom, and I am forever grateful for that. RIP Uncle Tom, love you.

I cannot express how sad I am, you are all in my prayers. I'm so glad Jordan Ann & I came to the 50 year anniversary party to see each other again. I had a great conversation with Tom & was looking forward to getting together for more events.My heart goes out to all of you.
I told him how when I was a kid going to Aunt Kate's house I thought Tom & Jerry were so cool as teenagers.
Love To All of you,
Carol Craddock LaPorte
