Tom never hesitated to help those in need. He gave his time freely, always serving others with humility and a generous heart. Kindness was at the core of who he was, and that kindness will continue to shine through his final act of generosity.

A quiet hero, Tom believed in the goodness of others and led by example. He cherished his family, and nothing brought him more joy than being a grandpa. His legacy will live on—not only in the life he lived but in the lives he has helped save through organ and tissue donation.

Your spirit will always be with us.

We love you, Tom/Dad/Grandpa.
