Tom was a great neighbor. He had a heart of gold. He made sure our driveway was cleared of snow during the times that I was unable to do it because of orthopedic surgeries. He always said we lived on the best street in Chisago City, and I’m inclined to agree with him. His distinctive laugh will be missed throughout the entire neighborhood.

Tom was a good man and took care of many in his personal and professional life as a union business agent. You could always count on him when you needed support. He also had a great sense of humor, and knew how to lighten even the worst situations.
