I finally was able to get online with this. So so sorry it took so long. Didn’t have an email address or anything. And was unable to get from my mom. Haven’t even read obituary.

Tom, my Brother-in law and very special friend has always been the greatest man I have ever known. He was an amazing Husband, Dad and Grandfather. His family was the light of his life. He was so proud to have been a “Deep Water” Sailor and after retiring from the Navy his civilian career was an extension of love for the nuclear field. We enjoyed shooting at the range and sharing fun times with many stories about life in general. Tom loved to cook whether on the grille, deep fryer, smoker...

Tom was a great guy. Everybody liked him. excellent instructor.

Dear Joyce, family and friends of Tom,

We are always saddened whenever a fellow "Bubblehead" departs on Eternal Patrol.

To our "Brother-of-the-Phin" we say, "Sailor,...

I will sincerely miss Tom good heart and laughter. He fought so hard and I'm sure he's been reunited with all his family in heaven and hopefully has found Pat there as well.

Typically a man of few words, but one who lived through his service and action, he cherished his friends and family and kept God close to his heart. He truly wanted the best for everyone and would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. He will be greatly missed but is finally able to rest and enjoy the rewards he earned in life. Please make sure to enjoy a cold one on his behalf and remember the good times by providing a few words to those in need of a laugh or care to those in need...
