Not sure what to say?

Good morning, Tom. I am sure you know how much we all miss you, my friend. Those were great motorcycle riding years with you on the Valkyrie and everyone else on their Wing. A few of us who are left of the group were just speaking of you and what a good rider you were. Take care and give a hug to all the guys who followed in your footsteps.

Tom. You are still thought of as a very dear friend by me and Diane. We miss your kind heart and I certainly miss our motorcycle trips. Rest in Peace, my friend. You stand out in our group photo. Those who have joined you in eternity in this photo: Dave "Fletch" Fletcher, CT Hamlin, Alton "Butch" Giggy and Rick Wilson.

Give our love to Roger and Fletch.

His creativity was hindered only by his customer's checkbook, as he put it! How do we continue on with such a void? By the grace of God, one day and tear at a time. Dad, you are greatly...
