My uncle always had a smile on his face when us kids were around. We knew he loved us, he showed it and he told us. I will not forget that smile! I love you and you will be deeply missed

RIP Tom.
I have known you over 30 years, you gave me one of my first jobs. I will forever be grateful for believing in me. It was a pleasure working for you and becoming part of the Van Pelt family. I have forever friendships with Kathy, Tom Jr, Bridget and Patty. My love, thoughts and prayers to all of you. My heart hurts, grief is so hard. My love to all.
