Dear Robin, I wanted you to know what it meant to me for Tom to be friends with my grandson Chase. He was a "Best" friend to him. He accepted Chase as he is and I don't know a lot of people that treated him so well as your husband did. Chase was blessed to have such a friend and will he will be dearly missed always.
Thank you,

I met Tom in 1973. He was working at Pollack Steel. We had mutual friends and we thought a lot of him. I saw him again at the Oakland grill in 1988. He told me all about his wife and kids and what they meant to him. The world lost a wonderful person and a man who really was a "family man'. He loved his family! I am so sorry for your loss.

Robin and family. I am so sorry to hear of Tom's death. You both have been such a witness for Christ as Tom would make his way to the front of the church for services and you would be right there beside him. I will be praying for you this week and in the upcoming time ahead. May you find comfort in the fact that you will be with him again and knowing that your church family will be walking beside you.
