Not sure what to say?

I just wanted to say Christmas is upon us and I am going to miss Uncle Tommy's cute letters that I recieve in my Christmas card every year. This will be the first Christmas without one. God Bless his family and friends. He was truly loved.

My big brother PLT.
He was the greatest in so many ways. I sure enjoyed all the good times we had in Texas. He was a guy you could look up to and depend on any time. I'm so happy that I got to be with him in his last months. I will miss you always. Your little brother Rudy & Family

Pop was a "larger than life" guy. We had so much fun with him every time we were together. Skiing, fishing, motorcycle riding, or eating his great barbecue chicken, he kept up with all of us kids all the way, when he wasn't leading the way. No one could ask for a better Father-In-Law (FIL) was my nickname for him sometimes. We had a great visit a short time ago and told each other how we felt about the other, great love and respect on both sides. I will miss him forever. What great...

Grandpa always made an impression on me. From teaching me how to filet trout, to haircuts or even watching Loony Tunes. Some of my best memories are from him and I will always remember how he influenced me and always put a smile on my face. I deeply miss and will always love my Grandpa T.

Ed and I were always so thrilled when Tommy and Mildred came to town. We had many nice evenings visiting. Tommy was such a special person and we enjoyed every minute of conversation with him. He will be sadly missed by all of us; but, we find comfort in the fact that he is not suffering anymore and he is at rest. Our thoughts are with Mildred and family at this time.

Jo and Tommy are special people. They always make you feel welcome and comfortable. I remember Tommy best from when Josh and I moved to Texas and stayed with Jeanne and Eddie. We were always included in family get togethers. I'll always remember visiting with them in the mobile home park - it was so peaceful and fun at the same time. Tommy will totally be missed. My prayers are with Jo, Eddie, Donnie and family. With Love

Looking back over the years the couple of things I'll always remember about grandpa is his BBQ chicken, and showing up in the RV visiting the family. I love you and miss you grandpa.

By gosh by golly Uncle Tommy,
Thanks for teaching me how to water ski, camp, fish, ride dirt motorcycles and just have fun. I was very blessed and honored to have you as my Uncle. You will always be in my heart.
love always
your niece Janet

Dear Don and Maureen, I extend my love and sympathy to both of you, your dear Mother, Don, and all of your family. My mind's eye is going back to happier times when Eugene and I were included in your great celebrations at Thanksgivings and Christmases, and were surrounded by your beloved family and numerous friends! Your Dad and Mother, Don, were always the center of happy and exhilerating conversational circles involving people of all ages. Your parents showed much joy and contentment,...
