To Denise, Louise, and Dennis I truly hope that all the great moments that you were able to have with your Dad before he passed away brings you comfort. The loss of someone dear to us is never easy. I was Tommy and Doris' flower girl at their wedding and remember having a little girl crush on Tommy he was not only handsome, he was kind, had a great sense of humor and quite a talented craftsman. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

The loss, of my uncle Tommy is filled with many years of happy memories . He was always highly entertaining and witty.
I remember how much I enjoying sitting down with my Aunt Doris and Uncle Tommy after they enjoyed a night out with my parents. Often Finishing the evening playing cards or parcheesi at my house. As a teenager hanging out with them Was more Fun then being with my friends . Uncle Tommy was such a joy to be with , it was nonstop laughter.
A positive force in my life. I will never forget all the laughs and memories growing up.
Rest In Peace Uncle Tommy
