Janice,
I am so sorry to learn that Tom has passed. I want to offer my prayers to you and your family. I have so many happy memories of time spent with you both. My family enjoyed diving with him. He was so patient teaching my son and nephew to dive as well. He loved the ocean and had many stories and photographs to go with them. My heart goes out to you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Tom was a very nice and kind person. We will miss seeing him working on the porch everyday in the summer and shoveling snow in the winter. You both are such wonderful neighbors to us. We pray for patience and strength for all his loved ones to bear this huge loss.
