Not sure what to say?

Tom is a very special memory for my family...he helped us get our kids to camp, was always there for a good time (and some not as good, but lifting our spirits just the same).

Tom will live on in our hearts! Memory Eternal. All our love, the Becks p.s. I can still hear him singing "oh, you can't get to heaven, if you spit on the floor, 'cause the Lord ain't got no cuspidor"!

The best Papou anyone could ever ask for! Thank you for your wisdom and guidance... may your memory live on forever.

My Dad was paramount in my life, and we had a special bond. Dave, the kids and I lived out of state for many years, but once we moved closer, we made up for lost time. Dad and I shared great times telling stories, singing in the car, reminiscing, and laughing our time away. I cherish those moments now more than ever. I am fortunate to have had such a stellar Dad.

Theio Tom will live in my heart forever, and the cherished memories of him will never fade. I will always remember him with a smile on his face. He will be dearly missed by all of us. May his memory be eternal.

Tom was, as to many, very special to me. He was the person responsible for me becoming a member of Clan Macleay Pipe Band (and its eventual Pipe Major). But I also valued the many hunting trips we had together, and his good nature and easy ways. I'm gutted at his passing; but celebrating all he meant to us all.

What a life! I was blessed to call him Dad! He will be greatly missed by many. May his memory be eternal.
