My sincere condolences to the Gould Family. Tom was such a nice and thoughtful person. He always looked out for me in the winter when it snowed and always left his snow brush and shovel on his porch for me. I will truly miss him. May all the beautiful memories of Tom forever linger in your hearts.
Sincerely,
