I met Tom and his family when my dear friend and his mother-in-law, Trish invited me to share Thanksgiving with them. They all made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I was so moved by Tom's good nature and sense of humor in spite of his recent diagnosis, and so sad to hear of his recent passing. You all have my very deepest sympathy for your loss and my best wishes in this difficult time. May your memories of Tom be a great comfort to you in the days ahead. In Tom's memory, a donation has been made to the Sunmark Credit Union for Sadie and Henry with warmest regards and deepest condolences.

I was very fortunate to have known Tom. We worked together for a few years and anyone who knew him knew how special he was. Tom was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
