Not sure what to say?





SO many years have passed since 1953 when I last saw Tom in school. 2023 has now started, yet we all still think of Tom and remember his humor, and brings a smile to our face. I'm sure Tom is entertaining everyone in heaven and that's a good thing. RIP Tom and we'll meet again, someday. Always, Donna Dee

I was saddened to see that Tom has left us. He always had a joke for all of us. His wit and humor was brilliant. I know he is up there telling more stories. My sympathy to all of you.

Arlene and family, So sorry to hear about Tom. He always brought humor to the table and maybe just a little political IN-correctness, which was always welcome. He knew laughter was good for the soul. I will miss him.
