Grampi , I love you so much and I miss you so much . I think about you everyday and still am in shock that you are gone . And even though it is different , you're still here . I can't wait till the day that I can see you again . All of my memories with you will be cherished forever . Losing you is probably the hardest thing I have had to go through in my life . I just couldn't believe it when Theresa told me what happened when they picked me up at school . It was so hard for me . We may not have been that close but you still mean the world to me and I would do anything to have you back , walking this earth again . Grampi , I miss you terribly and I love you with all my heart .

To The Garceau Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Tommy. I remember him working with my Uncle Bill Keniston for many years and especially remember them both working on my house on Mead Street in Charlestown when I was growing up. Tommy was a very nice guy and he & Bunny were great friends to my Aunt Dot and Uncle Bill. My husband Steve and I are very sorry for your loss.

To my brother Tom, You were one of a kind. I mean that in the most loving way possible. We could always count on each other for anything. You will be sorely missed not only by our family but by many others. I can still see you and Bunny dancing and waving on TV on New Years Eve in Vegas. Hope the two of you are dancing together now. Till we meet again.
Love, Brother Bill and family
