Thomas Harvey Haldeman

Hi Nancy, Ken, Phyllis et al- We were all just stunned & *devastated* to learn this sad, sad news. Especially Kim- Tommy being one of her very first crushes (if not THE first). And what a handsome, charming one he was too!!
I know he will always hold a special place in her heart. We all loved him & ALL of you! Our families went thru some STUFF together over there @ Four Lanes End!

Kim may have told you I had planned to be there with you today to give you all big Larry bearhugs. But I came home last night to a burning smell I couldn't locate & no power in one of the rooms, so I have an electrician coming any minute. Obviously I cant leave the house until this is resolved- which I doubt will be before Tom's memorial is over. I was SO looking forward to representing the Hersons & seeing all the Haldemans again. It has been EONS! Ive never met Thomas' family or your 2 gorgeous girls so am very disappointed to be missing them too!

But might you, Jerry, Ken & Phyllis be around this weekend so I could pay a brief condolence call? (or whenever would suit you). I have a card & a check from us to honor Tom- which I'd rather give to you in person & SEE you- instead of mailing- IF you're up to that.

Knowing how tough this is- I wouldn't stay long-
so no meal or fussy prep.

Please tell your folks why I'm not there right now. I do hope we all can meet up soon & that friends & loved ones comfort & support you today & in times to come missing your sweet & funny, witty & endearing, Scout Master-River Keeper- kind & generous & ALWAYS Hail Fellow Well Met.

My heavy heart is with you there right now-
even tho' not my person.
Many tears & hugs, Nan

We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless. Bob Yocom (Kenneth's cousin) and wife Norma

Tom was a great man. He always had a story to tell. I am shocked and saddened by his loss, you and your family are in my thoughts.

Susan, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

We all are devastated by Tommy's passing so unexpectedly. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Haldeman's and extended family. May God hold you in his heart and comfort you in this time of grief.

Tom was probably one of the first childhood friends I had. His mother Mary and my mother, Laura Prickett, were very close friends in Langhorne, PA. This past Christmas, I had the blessing of seeing Tom after may years at Nancy and Jerry's Christmas Breakfast. Tom and I were revisiting childhood memories from the late 50's and early 60's. One worth sharing....For some reason Tom and I were at his house alone one evening. Well, we decided to light a fire in the fireplace. Suddenly, the room was filled with smoke! Tom quickly realized we hadn't opened the damper. Well we worked our hardest to rid the house of smoke before Uncle Ken got home. Needless to say we weren't successful. Fortunately, Uncle Ken wasn't too hard on us.
Tom, I will miss you. You left far to soon.

Your friend,
Craig Prickett

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
