Not sure what to say?

I recently heard of Tom's passing and wanted to pass along my condolences to the entire family. We worked together for many years, Tom the seasoned veteran and me the young sales guy, he taught me a lot and I have so many fond memories of him and that office. We played a lot of pranks on each other back then and I'm pretty sure we'd all get fired these days, great memories, miss those days and the Camaraderie.

I was sorry to hear about your dad. Please know you´re in my thoughts.

Precious & loving husband to Bet Wonderful Father with love, teaching, understanding, patience and proud of his children Jason, Jonathan, and Jennifer Perfect Papa to grandchildren Isabella & Madison Sister-in-law, I couldn't have asked for better, with love Tommy RIP B Ifer Ience

I am so sorry to hear of Tommy's death. I wish I could be there, but circumstances are keeping me from coming. I will pray for your family to be comforted. I know that you will get to be with him again.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bette and the Decoteau family. I worked with Tom at Preston Engravers in the Sales Dept. and we covered each other's accounts during vacation. Tom was a kind man & I remember him having to have his daily snack at his desk.

My heart is broken. Dad, you were so brave and you never stopped fighting. You were an amazing, caring, and supportive father. The girls couldn´t have asked for a better grandfather. They adored their Papa. Happy Father´s Day in Heaven Papa.

My condolences to Bette and the kids. Tom was the embodiment of kindness, that is what I will remember most about him. His smile, his laugh, his stories. God´s blessings on him and your family.

Happy Father's Day to you in heaven, Dad! Thank you for setting such a great example as a man, father, and mentor. If I am ever half the man that you were, I will count myself blessed.
