So sorry to hear of your loss. I am your neighbor at #18 and though I see you often walking the dog, I haven't been one who is able to get out and walk. May you find peace.

Deer Lynee & the Cadwell Family, I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of Tom. Tom was one of my all-time favorite people in my world. Although we would not run into each other very frequently, when we did, he was always the warm, friendly, laughing Tom I knew.

The entire James D. Call Family extend our thoughts and prayers to you all during this hard time. God Bless Tom.

Cadwell Family,

As a kid, my brother and I hung out with Tom (Tommy) and his brothers a lot. We shared many of the same interests (i.e. music, Chicago Bears, and getting into mischief). Also, years ago, Tommy was solid as well as trust worthy employee for our family's store. I am sorry for your loss.

I'm going to miss you buddy. When the Bears started their season, there you were to open your house up to a bunch of crazies. Always cooking up some loin, the things you could do with that grill my friend. You and Lynee could surly lay out a feast......I'm going to miss you Tommy.!! Peace be with you all.....

Dear Lynnee, Joe, Theresa and all the Cadwells,

I can't even put into words how deeply sorry I am for your loss of Tom. My God, what a tragedy. I have so many memories through the years from grade school through high school all the way until now. Tom was such a unique guy, always happy and positive, such a Bears fan and a music connoisseur. There is so much great music I never would have had the joy to listen to if not for Tom. His passing is a great loss to us all. The entire Cadwell family, especially Lynnee, have my deepest sympathy.

I WILL ALWAYS MISS SEEING TOM'S SMILE EVERY DAY. WORKING WITH HIM FOR 25 YEARS WAS ALL MY HONOR. HE HAD A VERY DEEP PASSION FOR CUSTOMER CARE AND SERVICE. HIS PEERS ALL HAD NOTHING BUT ADMIRATION AND RESPECT FOR HIM. HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND TO ME AND I WILL ALWAYS MISS OUR VIKING / BEAR TALKS EVERY FOOTBALL SEASON. YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED MY FRIEND. LIVE ON.
