Madeleine, Tom was such a wonderful person, husband, father, grandfather and cousin. He was a people person, and all who knew him, looked up to him. We lost track along the years, but I was always proud to say that's "My cousin"!!

Cheers to Tom... a really GOOD guy. We all loved him and are so thankful for our family time together over the years. He and Dad are surely sharing a glass of vino and plotting their next round at that great big golf course in the sky. XO to you all. The Brocks
