I miss you so much Grandpa!
I will forever remember the times you came to watch us as our parents were away on their trips, how much you loved Grandma and your whole family, how you were always present for life´s biggest events, and how you constantly were laughing. Thank you for valuing family as I have never cherished it more and for all of the memories spent together.
I love you so much!

I was Tom´s nephew and Godchild- he was my mom´s only brother. I remember the notes he would write me for special occasions and my birthdays. Since we were never in the same area- he would send gifts through the mail. I recall a St Louis Football Cardinals uniform, helmet and pads- I would wear that around the house trying to tackle my sisters and brothers. My favorite was the red sports car- mini sized- with a large Eveready battery to power it. We had so much fun riding that around the house and outside(probably 45-47 years ago. He always had a happy uplifting personality, always laughing. Will miss him
