My sympathies to the family. Worked with Tom at Huttig and always enjoyed our conversations and the time we spent together at managers' meetings. He was a kind, intelligent and caring person and will be missed.

I just heard about your father's death,and wanted to express my deepest sympathies, especially to my old friend John Etling.

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Uncle Tom will be greatly missed by us and all who knew him. We will always remember Uncle Tom's wonderful sense of humor and many great memories of our times together. He was a proud veteran and a leader in his community. Our love and prayers are with all of you, Aunt Helen, John, Paul, Kristen and your families. Our deepest sympathy and love from Betty Etling, Dianne, Mike, Brian and our families

We will miss his sense of humor and outlook on life.

My prayers for the family of Thomas as they grieve his loss. I did not know Thomas but have known Helen through DePaul Nursing School and the Nurses Alumni. Be assured of my continued prayers.
