Sandy and Family,

I am sad to hear of Tom's passing. We lost track over the last few years but he always would talk about his family with a smile on his face. He was proud of each and every one of you. Although I only knew him through Bruen Rescue, I felt like I knew the whole family. He was a great person and a great mentor. May he rest in peace and God Bless you all.

My favorite memories of my Uncle Tom were at the Miller Road house with my cousins Tommy, Daphne and David. The treehouse, the creek and the best apple pie and zucchini bread, ever. Rest in peace, Uncle Tommy. I'm sure Daphne, Grandpa and Grandma were there to welcome you. Sorry for your loss, Sandy, Brad, Greg and Zach. May God bless you in the coming days. May He lift you up in your weakest moments and may He guide you through the darkest days. Godspeed.

Sandy, Brad, Tommy, David, Zachary, & Gregory: How saddened we are to hear of Tom's passing. He was a childhood friend, a fellow Trooper and we enjoyed many family get togethers as our children grew up together. Tom was always showing us photos of his grandchildren and you could just feel how proud he was of them as well as his children. We realize they have lost a blessing. Tom always greeted everyone with a warm smile and a sincere interest in what was going on in their life. We wish you peace to bring you comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Sending our love and a warm hug.

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh!
