Not sure what to say?

tom you are like a son to me

Tom! I can't remember when I last ran into you. I'm going to surely miss you. You were like a big brother to me. Knew each other since I was a kid growing up on the South Side on South Union. I think I was 14 yrs. old !! Last I talked to you, you just moved in the house on Giel. Oh Tom !! I Will Truly Miss you !! Many Many Memories. Peace be with you Always.

I'll never forget your first ride in
my miata & how much we laughed. It's one of many happy memories I have wirh you. Your tender words when my sister died gave me strength that I needed. I will think of you my friend everytime I see an eagle fly & I will smile. Miss you my friend

Funerals are for the living, Tom lived his life the way he wanted. His choice not too have a funeral proved too me that Tom died the way that he lived, HIS way. He will live on in my memories, memories of fishing with him on the wall, memories of the flat head he caught on one of those fishing days that was a big as Crystal Lynn. The memory of how after my dog got killed, he brought me a beautiful baby Rottweiler tucked in the floor board of his truck. I shared almost 16 years with that gift...

I just want to express my condolences to Tom's family and to all who loved him. He will be greatly missed.

I want to give my sympathy for your loss. This is a very difficult time to deal with. May the God of comfort be with your family during this time of sorrow. (Psalms 119:76)
