Thomas Charles "Tom" Lane

I consider myself lucky to have know Tom and consider him a friend. I always enjoyed running into him at Old Threshers and catching up for a few moments. He was so proud of his entire family and smiled from ear to ear when telling about his grandchildren. I always considered Tom a great mentor who I looked up to because of his positivity and way that he treated everyone he was around. One day I mentioned that I would like to shoot some clay birds and he invited me out to the farm house north of MP and showed me the ropes. His patience and encouragement stayed with me through all of the years my daughter Katelynn shot trap when she was in High School. We always joked about each of us having a Katelynn (Kaitlyn). Throughout life, everyone has those individuals that make a positive impact on their lives and I am eternally grateful that Tom made a difference in mine when I was a young man. Sending my deepest condolences in your time of loss and I will remember Tom's smile for the rest of my days.
