Dear Sandy, Michael and Family,

I am so saddened to learn of Tom's passing. We were Sig Ep's at Culver and Tom was such a warm,friendly,funny guy with a smile and laugh that made you like him instantly.
I will always remember his jokes (especially those played on Wes Lafferty)his musical talent, and his athletic ability.
I know when we met you guys at Culver in 1991 he was so proud of his family.
God Bless and keep his memories close to your heart.

Fondly,
Kent Starkey
