Tom has been a friend of ours for many years. We lost touch when he moved to Florida, but we will remember the great times spent during his Milwaukee years. Our prayers and sympathy are with his family.

There will never be a better husband, father, grandfather than Tom. His smile will forever be remembered. He leaves the greatest legacy of a family that loves him and always will. I know that because I married him. I miss him more than words can express.

Just to let you know Kim we are here for you. You have always expressed how much you loved your dad, and how much he has meant to you. How amazing you thought he was and how courageously he fought all his medical battles. You mean the world to us and we love you!

You and your family are in our prayers.

Tom was the father of my dear friend Kim. I have known Kim for more than 15 years and she is like a sister to me. We have shared conversations of her love for her father and Sue; and for the appreciation she had of Sue for taking such great care of Tom all these years. I pray for Kim, Bob, Miranda, Jake, Sue, and the entire family. Many of us are thinking of you. Love, Tracy

Tom was my father, he was the bravest man I have ever met. He fought many illnesses most of his life, but his will to stay here with us far exceeded modern medicine's expectations. He was a man of few words, but when he did speak, you were always careful to listen to everything he had to say. I will miss him more than words can say and he will be forever in my heart. I love you dad....

Tom was my brother-in-law and I loved him dearly (as did my husband). He was a really good guy and, despite his quietness, he had a very impish sense of humor. You knew by the twinkle in his eye that he was up to "no good". The world needs more of Tom's kindness and generosity in it. We'll miss Tom very much.
