Tom was a wonderful neighbor, who could always be counted on. Our boys loved talking with Tom, especially when they had to retrieve a miss thrown ball from his yard :) We will dearly miss Tom.

To the family of Tom Grothe

Tom and Joyce were welcome sites to our store in Bayport. They always brought a warm and friendly smile to us. Tom had so many stories to tell, and always a funny joke.

He is with Joyce now, because I know they are both in heaven. He loved his wife, and was devoted to her till the end. The passing of both now, leaves a whole in our hearts. We will always remember you as two people who gave all of themselves, and were totally in love with eachother.
