We will always remember you, Uncle Tom! You are a fine example of the best of America, and your gentle smile touched so many of us. Your sense of humor even through tough times was truly inspiring to me.

"Uncle Tom" was a very special person... very giving, very sweet. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

His name was Ziggy to me because he reminded me of the cartoon character written by Tom Harvey, and it seemed to fit him well. Before moving from NJ, you were a wonderful friend, good listener, and offered advice. I also enjoyed the Christmas cards over the years. You'll be missed, God Bless you

I'm sorry to see your Uncle passed away. My dad used to stop and talk to him when we were in those coffee shops and restaurants many years ago and your Uncles face is still fresh in my memory......
