Joyce and Family, I remembered Tom from my time at Flinchbaugh (it was Olin when I left). Didn't know him well there but joined the 1st Friday breakfast club a while back and regretted the few times I missed it.
A few months ago it was just Tom, Donald K. and me. We had a great time!
Please remember all the joy he brought to your family and his friends. He is missed!
May God grant you peace in the knowledge that one day you will be with him again.

To the Devoe family. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I had the opportunity to work with Tom at General Dynamics. He was a very nice man. I recently saw him at Jerry's. He had asked me to join them for breakfast some Friday morning, unfortunately, I never had that opportunity. May God bless you all in your time of sorrow.

Please except my regrets over Tom's passing. I will always remember the good times at the campground and those long evenings around the table at the Updike's.
