To the family of Dr. Tom:
Tom was a dear childhood friend from the West Side of Evansville. Several years ago he performed life-saving surgery on my mother. Because of his skill and dedication, we had several more years with her. We will be forever indebted to him. Our prayers are with his family.

Tom has been a brother to me since we were little. Needless to say, we had fun and gave each other a hard time.
Our families lived in the same neighborhood. Little Tommy Topper begged to cut Dads grass with the push mower. He had to peek under the handle to see!
Tom was always at our house throughout the years. Eating, going on trips with us, and yes, still helping my Dad. There is a board in the garage where my Dad had written what Tom was to be paid and that list grew as Toms...

Gina and family:
I grew up with Tom on Evansville's westside and have some cherishable memories from our neighborhood days. Several years ago, Dr Tom preformed life saving surgery on our mother and gave her several good years of life after suffering through a serious illness. Our family will always be in debt to Dr Tom. We send to you and your family, our deepest sympathies and prayers for God's comfort and support during these grieving days. May your fond memories of Tom carry you...
