It was such a pleasure to get to know Tom and harrass him. He will always have a special place in our heart and will be deeply missed. Love his 3 favorite nurses... Sarah, Stella, and Sandy.

I moved away when I was 12, so my Uncle Tom will always be bigger than life in my memory. I remember him as warm and funny and easy to be around. He was a good man. All my love to my Aunt Leitha and cousins Buffie and Daphne. My heart is with you.

Tom was a most enjoyable fellow - always had great stories and kept us laughing. He will be truly missed. He was a father figure to Earney and those are shoes that cannot be filled.
