Ken and Karen,
Sorry to hear the loss of your dad. I remember all the times I was asked if we were related in high school. Though I never met your dad I'm sure he was the best just like mine.. Now he is looking after you from above, also like mine.

Helen: I read with great sorrow of Tom's passing. You two were among our dearest customers when I owned Kirkers Steak House. Also Tom was responsible for my father being awarded a "Veteran of the Month" award from Albany County. In addition he researched my father's war record and obtained medals he had earned. He was a wonderful man and will be sorely missed. John White

My sincerest condolences to the Brady family. Tom was a gentleman and an American hero who answered the call of his country. He helped save the world when he was really still a boy. I loved his sense of humor. You are in my prayers
