Sue and Family--
I am sorry to be writing at this late date. I've been gone but I have been thinking alot about Tom and all of you. What a great guy and really a mentor for me. I really looked up to him and loved talking with him. He was a straight shooter always who enjoyed a good conversation and laugh. Whether it was the Priority Board, Inland, Corpus Christi or Delaware Ave, you could always talk with Tom. I've got a million memories of sitting up talking with him--like the night we saw the flying saucer! Maybe we did have too many beers! He was one of a kind. I'm sorry I wasn't there to pay my respects. Seeing you guys at Marty's viewing meant a lot to us. I will miss him. Hope everyone is doing OK.

Dear Sue and Family,

Please accept our sympathy on Tom's passing.

Although we have been separated by years and miles, you and Tom are always remembered as good friends. It was great to see you again at the NCHS reunion.

From the time the "Sorrowful Seven" cruised through Frisch's and met that great group of girls from Ft.Thomas, through the proms, Moonlight Gardens and all the Saturday night movies in Cincy followed by the visits to the Avenue, there was one thing very consistently clear to Tom. And that was that Sue was the only girl for him. His certitude was impressive. In case you did not know, he made that very clear to the rest of us guys that he would not welcome any competition. I'm not sure he threatened us with bodily harm, but we got the message.

Again, please accept our condolences and our prayers.

Much love,
Your Cousins,
Mary Jane, Nancy, Lynne

Dear Sue,

I spoke with my Dad on Wednseday night and he told me of Tom's passing. Please accept my condolences.

I can't tell you how many memories this brought back to me about growing up in such a great place with so many great people around you. Tom was certainly one of those great people and while his passing is indeed sad, the thoughts of him brought many, many happy memories back to me. Those wouldn't exist if it were not for him.

Maureen and I will keep you in our thoughts and we wish you all the best during these difficult times.
