Thomas M. Stead

Tom was my father-in -law...I am so glad that he & Shirley found each other again...I know that she was truly the love of his life & that he cherished her...He was stern at times-but still a loving dad. My most cherished memory that I still laugh about today is about a red door....specifically the door that replaced the one stolen from his truck....every time Kevin & I see an odd colored door on a vehicle...we mention Kev's dad might be looking for his door again.. something little but a fun...

Tom was my Dad. Growing up he showed me so much but we were not close. The last few years...that changed and I know that we shared so much & father & son. I will miss my talks with him... I will miss his wisdom & knowledge...I will miss him....I love you Dad...I hope I made you proud...Love Kevin

Dear Shirley,
For the short time we were with Tom, we knew that he was a wonderful man. We are extremely sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to you Shirley for your loss.

Dear Shirley and family,
You have our sincerely sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Bill and I shared many times with him and his family. He and Bill were very good friends and I am sure he will be greatly missed by everyone.
God Bless.

Tom was much more than my husband. He was my protector, best friend, lover, companion and sweetheart all rolled into one beautiful person. We enjoyed just being together.
We met in 1951 and again in 1952 and both times went our separate ways. It wasn't our time yet. We got back together in 2000 and from the very first, those 48 years did not exist. All the feelings and love that had been buried all those years came to the surface and became much more than either of us could ever...

I miss my dad so much. When he lived in Michigan and I had a problem with something not working he would be over to fix it for me. I also loved camping and the farm. Dad took us city people and took us to farm country. What an adjustment we all had to make. It all worked out great, because I think we all turned out to be better people because of it. Poppa J [my nickname I called him] I miss you very much rest in peace. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Love Vicki

This was my dad, Some of my fondest memory's of him is when we lived on the farm in Carleton. We had chickens and a horse. I also remember the good times we had when we went camping. I like how good he was with his grandchildren. I will miss him alot.

Grandpa We will miss you so much. You will never be forgotten. LOve you xoxoxo
