Thomas E. Stratton

Sadly missed by all of us, Lenny, Sue & children.

Tommy, I'm really gonna miss those visits-usually a last minute decision on your part, & a pleasant surprise for us. You know, we were making plans for you to stay with us for a while, but it didn't work out that way.
It seems like everybody pulled out all the stops to try to make your situation better-you sure had a lot of love poured out on you-the VA in Connecticut, Visiting Nurses, Angel Flights, Togus, a family & friends that came to visit, transport &/or take care of you as best...

Tom was a really great brother &, more than that, he was a great person. He spent his life trying to help people-he seemed to have a keen eye for a person's need, even before they themselves did.
We have a lot of good memories of Tom visiting us at our home in Pa. & the past 13 years in Maine. We went camping with Tom, to the beach, or just sat around the house-there was always something to talk about. By the way-ask anybody-Tom was the perfect houseguest.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Tommy you fought your battle all the way to the end,...

The roar of your bike...
I'll miss ya

Livin life at full throttle...
I'll miss ya

Keep open a seat for me at the bar...
I'll see ya

Tom was more than a brother in-law to me more like a brother. He will be missed greatly missed by all who knew him. He was always ready for a road trip weather it be to help a stranger, friend, family or for just the hell of it he was there ready to go. Once you had his friendship you had a friend for life.
I Cant say enough about the care he had during his time at Tougus VA hospital in Augusta Maine. The staff was outstanding and very caring they catered to every need no matter how...

I know that Tom will always be with me, even though his physical body has passed, I hold so many fond memories and experences with Tom, and will always remember him as a funny, giving person and and a friend always., and will be truly missed. David Learned
