Dear Family of Tom,
I just want to tell you how much
my family and I loved Tom [Ab].
He was always very kind, loving,
smart, handsome and fun. Each of us have special memories of him.
Jeff really enjoyed the time he spent
with all of you when he lived in Washougal. We all visited him often
in California. He and I became very
close when I used to stay in Santaquin sometimes. That was when Mel and I were just dating.
I know he is in a better place...

Uncle Tom was larger than life in my young eyes. My perspective of Tom or "Ab" is that of a young boy. Our family would go to visit him in southern California and he was so gracious and fun to be with. We all loved him and appreciated how he made us feel welcome and entertained. I'm so happy for Tom to have gone back into the spirit world where he can reunite with his treasured family and friends, and be free from the ailments of his mortal body. I hope Aunt Michelle and his children will...

Oh the memories that will live on in my heart of my cool, fun and loving Uncle Tom. His smiling eyes always poured love and were only equaled by his fabulous grin. His charm was only equaled by his loving and fun nature. And I am filled with gratitude for the kind of brother he was to my mom. What a great man he is. I send my love to him now...and equally to Michelle and the kids, who will all always be precious reminders of my love for their family.
