Mom(Yvonne), Jimmy, & T.J.; I will miss Tom as if I have lost my own father. He will be forever embossed not only in my dearest memories, but in the way I live my everyday life. We are all flawed in some way or another, but Tom's flaws were equally his strengths, and those strengths have made me strong. I am a better person because I knew and loved Tom Duncanson, and was loved by him. My pain is your pain, your loss is my loss. I am at your beck and call if ever needed. My deepest sympathies and best wishes to the three of you as you deal with the day to day impact of his passing. The prayers of my family are with you. Robby
