Tom was my brother's best friend. My condolences. He was a great man & did a enormous amount of good in his life. His memory will remain with a large part of many people's life. My prayers are with you.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of my friend Tom Mich. My best thoughts go to Cathy and family in this sad time. I'm privileged to have a long history and many fond memories of Tom.

Though we didn't get to see each other often, the times we were together were always fun and memorable. Uncle Tom will surely be missed. Hugs and kisses to all.
