Me again Dad,
Just dropping a note to you. We are all still missing you but we all know that you are with us. Rita and I were texting today, she found a dime at the boys play, you were there watching TJ and Trevor and I had a baby butterfly land and look at me during Ally's softball tournament. I love these signs and I believe you are right here with us although I miss talking with you SO MUCH.
I love you dearly and think of you every day many times. Please keep in touch, it makes my days better and brighter.
I love you to the moon and back, remember that sign we hung!
Love you Dad,
Lori

Dear Dad,
What a great dad, poppy, husband, friend and mentor you were to all of us. Your love throughout my life made me into the person I am today. You taught me respect, kindness, how to defend myself, commitment, work ethic, the importance of unconditional love and so many other valuable lessons about life.
I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever. You were my friend and buddy, loved sitting on the sofa having some beers with you although most of the times we had to go get beer which always made me laugh that a guy that owned a bar had no beer in the fridge. Also always calling you for your tips on the horses, I am not sure how well I will do going forward.
I do miss you soooo much, I am sorry I wasn't here to say so long but so happy that I got to be roommates with you and mom in the hospital, we had a great time. Loved that You, mommy me and Tommy watched the college championship football game, a great family night that we all loved. I know how important family was to you and I know that I will carry that same value through my life.
Mom is in great hands with all of us, you would be proud of how great she is doing. She looks good. I know both out you at times worried about each other more than you worried about yourselves, but I know that is what true love is. We will take great care of mommy.
I know you will be watching over all of us and cheering Ally on during her softball games. You always loved talking about her pitching and I know she will keep practicing hard to make you proud.
You fought so hard for a while so that you can be with your family, You are now at peace and will be our angel watching over us and will be forever in my heart.
Love you Daddy,
Your daughter,
Lori
Ps, keep placing those dimes, we know you are watching us

To Tom and entire family;..
Just heard about the passing of your dad. My condolences to you and your family, and extra prayers go out to your father as well. He was always curtious and polite to me, and always had a smile to share. He talked about you often when you started your career. I can tell he was proud, and he was no doubt proud of you! Thinking of you and your family during this tough time. God bless you and your entire family. Love your friend, Brian and the McCabe family.

My heart goes out to the entire Seig family. Tom was my daughters first coach. Pat and Tom opened their arms and hearts to us when we moved to NJ. They were my first friends there. After 32 years I am honored to say that no matter we moved we never lost touch. Just his hello when I called made me smile. You have a loving family who will always take care of each other just like you taught them to do.
With sadness in my heart may God bless and keep you. Love, Linda Newhart

Well Tom, you and Pat were my first friends when I moved to NJ. Amy on your ball team with Laurie. You and Pat opened your arms and hearts to us. Fast friends , meeting my mom and helping when I had Dan. 34 years later, no matter where I lived, we never lost touch. Just the hello on the phone made me smile. Safe travels my friend. May God Bless and keep you. Love Linda Newhart.

Well dad your journey here has ended, but your memories will last forever. I know you are at peace and keeping a watchful eye on all of us from up above. You were a great dad and awesome grandpa but all the kids knew you as(POPPY). You always lit up when the kids were around even when you were feeling sick, you laughed with them and always gave them thumbs up sign which they now do all the time. They will never forget those memories. I want to thank you in molding me into the person I am today because now I will pass that onto my kids. So what else can I say, I can say I am happy the doctors let me into the room to be with you till the end. It is something I will never forget saying goodbye and giving you a kiss on your forehead letting you know you were not alone. As for Mom we will make sure she is taking care of, I know that is what you wanted and preached to the end to me make sure she is ok. I will end this with one of your sayings: "No job big or small do it right or not at all." Dad I going too miss you, but I love you and I will see you again.
Your son,
