We were out of town this past weekend and I just saw your dad's obituary. I remember him always with a smile on his face and being a kind man full of life. He sure did pass on his love for tennis. God bless all of you during this most difficult time and may you find peace knowing he is free of all pain and suffering.

God Bless Tom.
He had a great outlook on life and a wonderful sense of humor.
We always joked together that he was keeping the lights on at Five Seasons when he was on the bike there.
We're out of town, but wanted to let you know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
