To the Nilon Family,



The Nilon and Adam Families are bound by the friendship that started with our parents. We grew together, played together, now we weep together. You shared in our sorrow this past year, please know that we share in your sorrow now...



May Our Lord welcome him with open arms and May He comfort you in your hour of despair.



Our Prayers and Love are with you all...

Nancy, although Robert and I met Tom just a few times, we were impressed by how kind, generous and fun he was. We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and friendship are with you.

I have a photo of you and I, arm in arm, sweated from the field of play.

Our faces streaked with dirt but filled with joy, for it was a very good day.



We are two friends who met long ago, and maintained volumes to discuss,

Through all the years our common ground was that the race was never run between us.



We stepped together, you and I, in the rain and in the sun,

And I refuse to accept, in this life or the next, that we are anywhere near being done.





Tom, my grief overwhelms me now.

I look forward to the day when I see you again.

Dear Judy, Hannah and family,

I am very sorry for your loss. I often remember with a smile, the tournaments working with Tom and your family. I would run into Tom every couple of years and we always shared a laugh. He was genuinely well liked by everyone he knew. My thoughts are with you.
