Uncle Tommy was one in a million! His sense of humor and quick wit were priceless! Always well read and up on everything, he was an intelligent and thoughtful man. I have so many wonderful memories of him since childhood. Rest in peace now with your beloved David. Put a good word in for all of us up there!
