Loved Tom so much. Such a wonderful guy. He once took a tooth pick out of the bottom on my foot while I lie on the Animal surgery table at Bergman Veterinary Clinic.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He was always one of my favorite cousins. Coming from a family as big as the Townsend's, that is certainly a compliment. His Mother Lois, and my mother, Elizibeth were very close, so I was also very close to Lois. What wonderful memories I have of Tom and the family. God Bless you all as you are in my prayers. Glenyce Brunton Haggin.

We are saddened by this news. I knew Roy (Tom) from Cassopolis as a young adult and family babysitter. What a great family! In later years, we connected as my husband went to medical school with him. He was a wonderful person and excellent physician. Prayers for your family.

We are so saddened to hear about your Dad and Grandfather. You are in our thoughts and prayers. It is hard when someone so loved makes the journey home and leaves that space in our lives that had been filled with their presence and love. I cannot imagine your grief, but I hope it will be soothed by the many memories of Roy's goodness and his love for his family. We will miss him.

I am very sorry to hear about Grandpa Roy. I remember seeing him at all of our softball games and I remember specifically one time when he took me to one of the games. We had so much fun on the ride to the game and even though he's gone now I want you all to remember what a wonderful blessing he was to everyone he ever encountered. Emma, I know that you are going through a very difficult time right now, but try and remember the times he made you and others happy and remember that he was a great man.
Love, Audrey
