Please accept our sincere condolences. We always enjoyed being with your Mom and Dad every suppertime in the Star Unit when we came to be with Bill. Bill always referred to Tom as his "buddy" and liked having him as a room mate. May your memories of your Dad give you comfort during this time of sorrow.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of you loved one. Tom brought joy to all of us at United Methodist Homes. Being a N.Y Giants fan I would often fill him in the football game most of the time he already knew what was going on. Tom had an amazing smile and great sense of humor. My thoughts are with all of you , God Bless.
