My older sisters were closer to his age group , the hall girls the late Leonie Preater the late Clare Wicks and Dawn Cheesman and myself Pauline . I still have the lovely mirror that Tom did for my Mum and Dad with the dutch girl on it. Very fond memories deepest sympathy to all Toms friends and Family xxx RIP Tom

Hi Kathy, and family I was so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. People throw out the word legend for the wrong reasons, however, Tom was and will always be a mans man. He did more for Marton than any person I know and i am sorry I did not learn of his passing until today. My thoughts are with you all in this most sad time.
Regards
