Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Tom. He was always such a kind man.
I miss our phone calls and will continue your tradition and play The 1812 Overture when the schoolchildren are walking home. And yes, the windows will be open! Sweet memories of a dear, dear man.

The Nielsens,
So sorry to hear about Tom.He walked quietly,but was a gentle giant and touched many lives in many ways.He encouraged me to become a juvenile probation officer(later chief/dir) and then a federal probation officer. I was honored that he not only gave me a reference,but also wise counsel.Go in the peace you gave others.

I got to know Tom through the WW II Museum. He was a wonderful man, patriot, and hero. I only learned of his death today (at the Museum) so I did not attend his funeral, but I will miss him. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tom and family...i am sorry for your loss and will remember your dad and your family in my prayers. May God give all of you strength.
