Judy, Bev and I were very shocked and saddened to see of Tommy's passing. When talking with my sisters we all agreed, You and he were a part of our lives since we can remember. I can still remember that snowy Easter morning, you and Tommy coming to house and Mom got knocked in the snow, "C'Mon Eleanor, we're going four-wheeling" like it was yesterday. The Octoberfest Weekends at the Jordan AC, some great times.Coming into the shop on Tilghman st. every occasion to see you two. May your memories bring you peace through these difficult days, you now have a guardian angel on your shoulder.

In God's speed

Dear Judy,
I am so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. He was always a bright spot in my day whenever he delivered flowers. For the past 21 years, no matter what funeral home I was at, I always looked forward to getting RichMar flowers just because I knew Tommy would be delivering them. He will definitely be missed.
