Not sure what to say?

My wife and I are so very sorry for your loss. Tom was a great guy, a good friend of my brother, C. Thomas Wright and my Mother, Margaret Wright.. I was so proooud to know Tom and visit with him over thos Sunday morning coffee sessions at Rudy's house. Good memories of a gifted man. He leaves a legacy in Ogden which will long be remembered.

With Sympathy,

I am so sorry for your loss! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

ALWAYS ENJOYED HAVING COFFEE AND VISITING WITH TOM. WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS IN SCHOOL SHE WOULD WALK TO TOM'S AND RIDE THE HORSE. HE WILL BE MISSED

Mary Jo and family, your dad was a familiar presence in the community of Ogden. He was always lending a hand for whatever or whomever needed help. Keeping all of you in my thoughts.

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU--GREAT NEIGHBOR--LOVE FROM US BOTH ROY AND EVELYN STOCKMAN

Steve and family, we are all so very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. We just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and your family.

Mr. Kieffer taught several of the most popular classes; drafting, design, and woodworking. In a crowded classroom full of sometimes rowdy male adolescents, I never heard him raise his voice. He had immeasurable patience and was one of the kindest men I have ever known. I have missed him ever since I left his classroom in 1964. He was the one teacher I made a point to visit after I returned from Vietnam. To his family; I extend my most sincere sympathies at this time of loss.

Mr. Kieffer was a wonderful teacher and mentor. He possessed immeasurable patience and tolerance. I never once heard him raise his voice in a classroom filled with sometimes rowdy male adolescents. He was a true gentleman. I have missed him since I last left his classroom / shop area in 1964. To his family, I extend my most sincere sympathies at this time of loss.

Steve and Family,,
We are very sorry for your loss.
