Dear Family,
My Husband was a fellow Marine, and shared many years with him in Rockford Detachment.
I share in your sadness at his passing.
I will always remember him as a polite, faithful, and dedicated Marine.
He was my "go to" man when ever I need a
phone number or any M.C. information.
I made an agreement with him to take care of the 20th Rifle Co Flag, and in hopes to place it at Midway Village. As you know it is part of Rockford's history.
Again, condolences to all.
I will miss him.
Most sincerely.

I ENJOYED WORKING WITH TOM IN THE MAILROOM. HE WOULD TELL ME STORYS ABOUT WHEN HE WAS A COURIER. MOST OF THEM WERE FUNNY. HE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH. I WILL MISS HIM. HE WAS A GREAT PERSON.
