I wanted to tell Tom's family how sorry we are about his passing and to let them know what a wonderful next door neighbor he was when he lived in Milford Ohio. Tom was such a friendly, funny, wonderful person. I got to know Tom when I was a kid growing up in Milford. I have many fun memories of him but a couple stand out in my mind. He used to have my Mom and I over to swim in his pool and we always had a good time. Tom also drove me to the Prom because I was too young to "car date". He had such a fun personality and he was just hilarious. He came up with this crazy outfit to wear when he was out chauffeur to the Prom. Tom also had the sweetest white German shepherd named Atlas and I always loved to play with him when I came over. Tom later moved to Florida and my family went down to visit him and they had a total blast. Tom was such a nice person and he is definitely missed. I would've posted a comment before now but I just found his obituary yesterday. Prayers and love sent to his family and friends.
