Tom was a kind friend and someone we admired for his leadership at Westminster Presbyterian Church. He possessed faith and courage. When I shared that my brother also had Parkinson’s he was eager to inform me regularly of the latest helpful treatments.
He was a gentleman and we are glad that we knew him. He will be greatly missed.
