I have thought about Tom always and wondered how he was doing. I just searched his name and was saddened to read this obituary. So very sad. What a beautiful person Tom was. I enjoyed his knowledge about everything. I send my deepest condolences to Carolanne and the entire family. He is in a calmer and peaceful place. No more to hurt. I am so very sorry for the family because I know you will all miss him dearly. I am glad we was back home.
