Tom was one in a million!
He had a gift of making everyone feel so important. He always took the time to listen and never judge. I'm so grateful to have known him, he was there through some great times and supported me through many of life's challenges as well. Tom led by example, loving to his great family and his many friends. Thank you for being such a bright light on this earth you are missed and will never be forgotten. All that had the pleasure of knowing Tom need to pay it forward and be kind to all you meet. His legacy can live forever.

As my friend Tom awakens and has this strange feeling no pain ,no worry and jumps up to an arriving police car. Inside is a friend Bill who says “jump in”, there’s a lot going on and you got to catch up. As they are traveling down the path a loud yell come from a man of small stature but big voice who he remembers blocking his way and Tom laughs remembering him from the past . This individual gets into a heated argument with Bill the impeccable dressed officer saying that he can't go there looking like that, so he puts him in the chair and starts giving him a haircut , saying yea I know this one won't be as crooked as my last one. Tom jumps into the chair and complies with Jimmy and laughs.
Appearing suddenly are people he hasn’t seen in years bosses, friends and family. One directing the welcoming party is this large individual wearing and Irish kilt and a grumps hat singing a tune and having a wee sip of a Dooley . In the distance there is one person standing out a that he recognizes but a friend , Bub ! . He ask Tom what's up Bub, he reply’s don't worry about anything I have it handled back there , I got connections and my friends Deb and Mark will help Jean and family to get through this . Hey, by the way did you happen to bring a pizza and wings from the Purple Pub . Haven t' had them in awhile.
At that point big Bill starts to sing a tune and they say you have a lot of company you have to catch up with. Tom looks puzzled . A lot of people now want to meet you and catch up with the news of their family and friends. Tom with a smile and grin reply s I glad I left my attitude to my friend Mark.
To my friend Tom – RIP

I offer my deepest condolences. Tom who was my cousin but always considered as uncle Tom was always an idol of mine. I can remember going to his high school football games and wishing i could be like him. Because of him i played sports and strived to be just like him. The 30 + years of hunting together will never be forgotten. Although our hunting partner has left i'm sure we'll meet again only to hunt again. You will be deeply missed Uncle Tom!! Good bye for now.
