I knew Tom only for a short life in the late 70's and early 80's. We drank to many beers and stayed out to late, but through it all he was the best. Smiles and laughter was always there. It will be nice to see him again when he will be resurrected back on this paradise earth.

I can't say that I'll miss you now, because I have missed you for a long time. I remember writing back and forth when you were in service, and the years of friendship, stories and changes we all went through. Mr. Tom, you always made me smile, and it is your smile that I miss the most. Happy Trails, Tom. To your family, Tom will be remembered by more people than you will ever guess. Condolences.

Bobbi, I'm so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He was a GREAT MAN! I still remember spending alot of time at your house with him and your Mom and all the fun we had growing up. Tom always tried to act tough around people, but he was really very sweet and kind. Now he's riding his bike again in Heaven and watching over you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
