Uncle Tom always intrigued me. He seemed "worldly" the way he traveled. I enjoyed our talks.
He will be missed.
Love,

I remember my uncle Tom as a man who dearly loved his wife, my aunt Isabel(Marion). They showed us how they respected each other and cared for each other. What a great story teller and enthusiastic speaker Tom was. We visited him last Summer and he took us out to lunch. He enjoyed special times and even quietly displayed kindness and concern for many people in his lifetime. We are thankful for his love and commitment to his wife and his family. Life is a precious gift and we are happy he made it to the age of 80. He will always be a special Uncle to me and I will never forget him and the respect I always had for him. The adventurer and traveler and true storyteller. My Uncle Tom

Uncle Tom and Aunt Isabel had the neatest house in Boston. A front and back stairway....they never said if we drove them crazy with all our running around, four grandnephews and nieces...always so patient with us! Uncle Tom made the best roast beef dinners, what a cook! I still see Uncle Tom with a cigar; funny memories! Family - the wonderful legacy of love grows each and every day. I will miss being with everyone, celebrating Uncle Tom's life.
With my sincerest sympathy,
Linda (Cooke) Wheeler

Uncle Tom always had a sparkle in his eye and I enjoyed all of the adventurous stories he told me as a young boy. He was an inspiration to me, as I was growing up. Hopefully, I will have that same "sparkle" as I tell stories to my grandchildren and grand neices and nephews. May you rest in peace.
Your nephew, Larry
