To Tom's immediate family members.I wish you comfort at this time knowing that Tom is in a better place.
I didn't know Tom for as long as some but I am so grateful that he came into my life. He was a very special man. What a sense of humor! Even though Tom was so quiet and unassuming he touched many, many lives. Everyday someone comes in my work and asks about him. I found out that he made a ball of string and that it was the size of a basketball when he retired. So I started one of my own. It took him a lot of years to get it that big! I have had alot of fun knowing Tom and wish I would have met him sooner. He will always be in my heart and good memories.......Love ya, Tom.........Your friend, Jessica
