Fr. Tom was a lot of fun to work with at the Knights sportsman dinner, he made sure there were plenty of scraps for his dog. He loved the perch at St. Simons fish fry too eating a meal with him was very enjoyable.

We have lost a remarkable, unassuming man. I first met him in Onekama, MI late one afternoon. He was cleaning squirrels that he had got while hunting. His brother, Francis, and I attended forestry school together. His many kindnesses will be remembered by everyone who knew him. Godspeed on your journey Father.

Fr Tom was assistant pastor in Ionia when I was in Seminary. He was a good friend and support. He gave me my first set of golf clubs. While in Ionia he was a good friend of our family. He taught me to golf and hunt rabbits. Tom was a good priest and good friend. My sincere sympathy to his family. It is the loss of a special person.

Father Tom baptized me as well as my siblings, and was the priest for my first communion in Montague. He will be dearly missed and touched so many lives.

As a member of St Bernard's Church, we always enjoyed him when he subbed for Father Dennis. He always had a pleasant smile and added to our Eucharistic Celebrations.
