The best uncle, anyone could have asked for. Uncle tom was always so funny, so kind, always knew how to light up a room. I miss him everyday. I miss his laugh, his sense of humor. I miss him, so, so much.

Tom. So very, very loved. Funny...could be sweet, could be acerbic. My son. We are all heartbroken, but need to believe that Tom lived his life, had a plan, and carried it out. Hope he knows how much we all loved him, and that Tank is doing well. As his mom, I will miss him each and every day. Forever.
