Not many people can say they've known their brother-in-law from the age of 5, but I can. So...he was much more like a big brother to me. I will treasure the many trips we shared with Beryl, the many get-togethers for holidays and "Junk Days," his dry wit, as well as the countless moments spent chatting about his Civil War collection. (Yes, we definitely had that in common.) I will treasure my last memory of our trip together to Lancaster-it was everything I could hope for.

Tom, I wish you that peace and joy I always felt when with you and Beryl.

We are deeply shocked and saddened by Tom's sudden death and your many losses. We enjoyed Tom's conversations about the Civil War, his deep love for you all, his service in the Air Force and his steady, witty personality. May his name be for a memory, Ala Ha'Shalom, and may you be comforted. Love and shalom,
Victoria and Steve
