Thomas Edwin Ortel

Still think about you all the time Uncle Tom. Dad and I would talk about all the funny stories and good times. Miss all of you...

hey big guy usually this time of the year in Huntington Lakes I remember Tom just want to let you know your big blue won the national championship this year. I know you would´ve been proud with us being in the school from the south will just say congratulations and leave it at that. Tom its been a while but we still think of you and miss you with love and fun memories Andy & Liz and all your old friends from the sunshine state

After seven years , he´s still talked about here in Huntington Lakes. It´s funny when I think of Tom either walking by the hot tub at the main, pool taking a walk down Aspen Creek Lane where Tom and Judy lived a few seasons , going down to the bocce courts or walking by the card room in the clubhouse or just fixing an old bike in my junk fill garage memories come back of my friend Tom, God bless you, Tom and your entire family. Just one of your best friends You´re Handy Andy.

Tom Ortel, Good times, laughter, golf and friendship!!!!

There is not a week goes by that I dont think of Tom. Its been five years that I lost one of my best friends and especially this time of the year here in Naples FL. When all our snow bird friends come down that we think of him and talk about our good times together with Tommy Boy

My sympathy to the family. Tom was a gracious host to Doug's college friends when we came to town for the weekend. His hospitality was never in doubt. He enjoyed hanging the boys and we enjoyed his company and story telling. He is onto a better place and I hope that they saved a spot at the table for a little Pitch!

A nice giuy who will be missed.

Judy and family...Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time...Take comfort in knowing that he is now with the Lord...I cherish all the memories of our weekend visits with the aunts to visit you and Tom for our Saratoga expeditions...Both you and Tom were gracious and wonderful hosts...Tom was a wonderful, spiritual man and will be missed...May the Lord bless you and your family.

With all our love,
Richard and Paula

Dear Judy, Jennifer, Doug & Dan,
I just attended Tom's funeral and it brought back some fond memories of him & all of you! It was a very touching service and a great depiction of the awesome man Tom was! My only wish is that we could've stayed closer in touch than we had.....he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend! R.I.P. Tom.
