Tom was quite a character the obituary read so true. I always had fun when he was around "the life of the party" although he made me blush once in a while. I just ran in to him a few months ago and had a nice chat. My sincere condolences to his family for your loss He was a great guy and will be missed by many.

Tom gave me a super birthday in 2005! Grilled back straps, green beans and sourdough slices! It was delicious and in his gracious manner insisted my sons and grandchildren come to celebrate and enjoy also! One of my best memories! Thank you Big Fish!

I will always remember his laugh and how big he was in the room. The trout fishing and deer hunting in Black River and the Canada trips with Tooter will always be fond memories.
Deepest condolences to the entire family.

To Bill,Dick,Joe,Mary, Julie, Pete, and John please accept Sue and my sincere condolences on the sudden death of Tom. Tom was really one of a kind and his laugh was truly genuine. He always seemed to make the party or hunting camp more fun and certainly more interesting. I would like to think that he was met in heaven by Jule with a big glass dandelion wine and Ma Kish with a hot plate of venison baloney. Rest in Peace Tom

I will miss your quick wit and ability to go one for one with me. I will always be glad that you and the crew drove up that dirt road each year to fish and the laughs we had. Cast long and reel in the big ones forever

So sorry about Tom. I didn't know him all that well, but enough as a neighbor across the street. We met at the mailbox and he was so deeply proud, and loved his granddaughter. I will miss our little visits.

As it is known, Tom was made a member of our family for many years. Tom was loved and enjoyed by all of us. Yes, I had the opportunity to enjoy eucher and dice with Tom on many occassions. And yes...he Could be beaten in his game! But no one can beat the genuine love he gave to all. My sympathy to all of his family.
Happy times in Mazatlan!

What a guy! He is missed already. There will never be a more honest, playful, generous, funny, loving man. He gave me the best times in my life, and shared the worst of times too. A steadfast friend to the end. I sure hope there is eternal ice fishing in heaven. My deepest sympathy for the family. Love you Tom. #3.

I am shocked, and so sorry to learn about Tom's death. I got to know him playing cards at the Moose. Tom was a good card player. I know he is telling Leora how to play her hand up in heaven right now. To all his family, I extend my sympathy and hugs. Losing a brother is hard, I know. Sincerely, Mary Barrett
