Hi Susan. Gladys and I have many times thought of you folks. The Southern Caribbean Cruise, of 2014, that we met you both will always be remembered and cherished. Not so much for the Cruise, as it is for the absolute fantastic experience we gained from meeting you and Tom. Then again in Waikiki when we eagerly were able to make arrangements to meet with you both. We are so very saddened on Tom's tragic accident. We wish you the best Susan and look forward to the next time we can see...

So sorry for your loss. T was the best. He taught me how to pump gas back when we worked together at the gas station (or in the oil business, as he used to tell people) He was like a big brother to me back then, lots of good times. I always smile when I think of him and I will never forget him. RIP T.

Sorry to hear of the tragic loss of such a fantastic person. I am proud to say that I had the privilege to have known Tom. We went to Cardinal Stritch together. He was such a wonderful and caring person to everyone he met. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and his family. He probably has all the angels wearing Hawaiian shirts by now.
He will surely be missed.
