Tom it has been 5 years since you left us. I think of you often and miss out early morning talks we would have. There is that 1 New Years eve night that I will never forget. Uou met me at the tree to make sure I was ok. I will say you never let me live that one down but that's OK cause it showed me someone cared enough to check on me. Again you are so loved and missed so very much.

Tom it has been 6 months since you left. It is just so hard to believe you are not here for us to talk the way we use to and trust me when I say I really do miss that time. You were the closest thing to me that I had that was a father. You even told me a couple of times that you were proud of me and you will never know just how much that meant to me and always will until I take my last breath myself. I hope you know that I think of you often and miss you more than words can express. I know some day we will see each other again and what a day that will be. I am sure that you have met Walter and both sit up there and shake your head at me because of some of the things that I do. Well all I can say is why not when I have the 2 of you watching over me. Hang on you 2 cause the ride with me is not over by far. I will make it worth your wild.

Tom you are an amazing man that will be missed by so many. You are one of a kind and God broke the mold when he made you. You were not only a funny caring and most of all a loving person. To those that never got to meet you and experience you have lost out in so much. To those that did get to experience you will never be the same now that you are gone. Just remember the trees in heaven are not for you to cut down with that chainsaw you have with you. RIP Tom you will always be in my heart.
