I met Tom many years ago when he started dating Wendy. We all had dinner at my parent´s house in Homewood. Tom was very quiet. As we got to know him that changed dramatically. Tom was warm, funny, kind, charismatic and quite the talker. We all loved him. One of my most fun memories is of taking Shane and my son Josh to Great America. There was a booth Tom liked to go in where someone would guess your age. They always guessed Tom as decades younger. Tom loved that. So did we. Tom and Wendy and the Burks were our extended family. We spent lots of time with them on Oakley street. So many cherished memories that I hold dear. Rest in peace dear Tom. Here´s to a life well lived.
