Not sure what to say?

Tom was certainly a man of his faith and loved by many people His legacy continues today through those who knew him Shalom

I started my life in the jewelry business with the Fox family in 1969 at Eastbrook Mall. All these years later I am still at it. Thanks to Tom and the whole Fox Family. Martin and Tom were wonderful to work for. I must thank them for the life I have Very Much Enjoyed. Inspiration and Kindness. Pat LeMasters

Oh Mickie and family, I was saddened to hear of Tom's passing. What a gift he was to all he met especially to the Rademacher family. May God bless you always . Jane Rademacher

Tom was so warm, kind, friendly and truly interested in each person he encountered. I loved running into him on his walks with Paisley and had the loveliest visit with him and Mickie in July. He will be missed and remembered for his kindness and generosity. Sending my deepest condolences to Mickie and the family. Terry Azkoul

Tom was a good and true friend offering his wisdom to many usually interspersed with humor. He always made you feel as if you were the only one in the room. I don't know if his crazy golf swing will be acceptable in heaven but don't bet against Tom. Our deepest condolences to Mickie and the children. My regret is not being in town to express these remembrances personally. Blessings on you, Mickie and the extended family.

I remember working many fine days for him. Learning there opened many doors for me. He knew my dad in The Power Squadron. He was a kind man and he was always funny. He cared about his workers. My condolences to Mickie and family.

I am so sorry. I started working there in 1967 summers while going to college. I can remember taking Martin for his haircuts. I ended up continuing to work there and met my husband. Janet worked with me at one point and I remember Julie and Joan with their beautiful blonde hair. So many memories. He will be with you always.

I had the pledge of working for Mr Fox (Tom) since 1978 up to last year. He is a gracious caring person who gave so much to our community (west Michigan) He will truly be missed yet live on in all who knew him and loved him Shalom Tom Roberts
