My most sincere and deepest condolences. Tom may be gone from this world but he will never be forgotten. What a fun guy Tom was. Full of life always doing something the other guy would never dream of doing. He had been my inspiration on more than one occasion. If Tom can do it so can I...whats to stop you. Bright witty guy always had a different take on things,not the standard pat answers. Not much Tom couldn't do. I remember him telling me how he and a buddy built his garage..pretty cool. Some of my best memories were his bargain car finds. He could smell em out. His quiet and unassuming demeanor could charm you in a heart beat. I'm smiling as I recall all the fun things I've experienced knowing Tom Conway. I hope everyone will smile as they keep him close in their hearts and minds. I'm sure he would want to see smiles as he looks down from heaven on us not frowns or sadness. May God bless the Conway family.
