What a pleasure such a good natured person and I total sports fan like myself. I hope up in heaven with you they are playing baseball the game you loved the most. Down here with us its on hold right now. Thanks for the great memories

Was thinking about Tom a couple days ago. One night we went to Rudy's Farm House with Tom & 4 others. We will go to our grave as the funnest night ever, A stranger from Australia selling paintings sat at our table telling funny stories. We had a rough time with his accent but when we finally figured it out we could not stop laughing. The following day we all agreed our stomachs hurt so much from laughing. We all took breaks to go to the bathroom to get away from the laughter. Great memories.

Dad, Brenda and Me

My wife Brenda and I will sorely miss our Dad. Missing the phone calls and hearing his voice will be the hardest to get used to. Growing up my Dad took my sisters and I to baseball diamonds from Milw to West Bend. I wish I could turn back the clock. It was just 2 years ago we started to say I love you to each other over the phone knowing he wasn't going to be with us much longer, call it being too macho, but it became easier as time went by. I sure would like to give one last hug and say it...

Like Carlos, I also had the pleasure to know Tom through softball. He was a great competitor and always quick with a joke and a smile. He'll be missed by many.

I was 16 when I first met Tom. I was playing softball pickup game against the company team & clearly the two best players were the McGaw bothers Tom & Jim. Playing left field both hit them hard & long, but I caught everyone. Tom in amazement wanted to know who I was. As soon as he did he asked my parents if I could play on the company team next year. Well that was a start & development of a 40 year friendship. We played a lot of softabll games (together & against), laughed & shared just a...

I was 16 when I first met Tom. I was at a company picnic to play against the company softball team & clearly the 2 best players were the brother McGaw's (Tom & Jim). They hit so many longballs that day but I caught everyone of them. Tom in amazement wanted to know who I was. When he did find out he asked my parents if I could play on the company team the following year. That began & developed into a 40 year friendship. We laughed, played a lot of ball games (both with & against each other) &...

Love & Prayers to Linda and my cousins; John, Cindy, Tammy & Patty. Uncle Tom I have fond memories of watching you play softball when I was a child. Saturday's were always a fun time at the baseball park running around with my cousins, watching the games and getting as much change as we could from anybody for the cotton candy truck :) Later in the years I would see your smiling face at Potowatomi after a sesstion of Bingo. You were always a kind man with a great sense of humor and we will...

So sorry for your loss. I know he was a good dad! It is not easy to lose a parent. You need to hold the good memories close to your heart, as those will always keep you smiling!

Linda and all the kids we are so sad for your loss, Tom was a great guy lots of laughs thru the years. Leon and Susie Dufoor
