Thank you for being a good friend for so many years. I will miss our talks. You always showed up for me when I needed you... you were one of a kind.

A dear dear friend. A gentleman, a kind soul. Tom was always a pleasure to be around, cookouts, dove hunts and in the barn. I will miss his humor, chatting about movies, Last of the Summer Wine and coming in the house for eggs. Tom was proud of his family and especially how well Jessica rode and the deer John took this season.
He will always be missed and remembered with warmth and a smile.
