It doesn't seem possible that Tom is
no longer with us. My thoughts are with Louise and Angela and our entire family.

Louise, I will always remember the bike rides that we all took together when you and Tom and me and John frist got married.

And I will always remember Tom as the 15 year old boy I met many, many years ago when he was dating my best friend Gail.

And in heaven he will be forever young!

Louise and Angela - I never expected this. I always thought Tom would outlive me. It is so tragic. I feel so grateful that I was there to share in the beautiful funeral which showed just how much Tom was loved. I had so many good years with Tom and he was a good husband and father. It really touched me last Christmas Eve day when you came to Michelle's and he brought me a bottle of champagne because he knew how much I liked it. That, and your words to me at the viewing mean so much to me. I will keep you and Angela in my prayers and I hope to see you when I return to Virginia.

Sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. I have fond memories of our days in junior high and high school. Had not seen him since one of our Wakefield reunions many years ago. Was hopeing to see him at our 50th. Sorry that won't be!

Tom was a surrogate father to me, having lost my Dad when I was two, Tom played a major part in my life early on, he helped me with homework, took me camping, taught me to fish, got me my first job, taught me the value of hard work, he was such a big presence in my life growing up. I never thanked you for all you did for me and never told you what you meant to me. I hope now you know. God rest your soul.

Sorry that I can't be with your on Monday to celebrate Tommy's life. I cherished our friendship that went back to our days at old fire station one. He was a good fire officer who served his community and was well respected by his peers. Basically, Tommy was good person who will be missed.

I was shocked and saddened to learn that Tom passed away. I have many fond memories of Tom during the formative years of ACFD EMRS when Tom worked on Medic 71. He offered many good suggestions and performed his medic role in an exemplary manner. He was a credit to ACFD and to EMRS.

I pray that our Lord will bless his family with comfort, peace and love.
