I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.
I have many great childhood memories of Tom. He was always smiling and joking around with us when our families would get together. He liked coming to stay at the farm, even if it was totally different from his usual lifestyle. As a child I adored him. He always took the time to make me feel special!! Even though we did not see each other as much as adults, that 1st cousin connection was always there! I will remember him with great fondness, my curly haired, smiling, joking, loving cousin.❤❤❤❤❤❤
