I am very sad to learn of your passing. I chatted with Tom at 6 am each morning for several years on Whatsapp. Tom was a good man. I always got a warm greeting from him, funny jokes and sometimes he would sing a song. He had the largest coffee cup collection that I've ever seen! He was an excellent craftsman, blacksmith and a dedicated hard worker. He always kept busy and enjoyed showing me photos of all of the different projects that he was involved with. I always got good advice from him when requested. He was a trusted friend. The last time we chatted was on the morning of November 8th. Attached is a photo he sent that morning showing one of his many coffee mugs! Rest in Peace Tom.

Tom was such a great guy. Always had a smile and a joke or two for me when I delivered their mail. Such a wonderful gentle soul. He will be truly missed. Rest in peace, Tom.

Tom was such a gentle man/gentleman. He and Dr. Strobel were our "saviors" when our mother/mother-in-law, Ann, lived across the street. They were the watchdogs and first responders whenever she had a problem or needed help. Tom was kind and patient whenever she called. A true craftsman, he forged several fixtures for her home, all beautifully done. His mustache was one to admire! Rest in peace, Sweet Tom.
