So sorry to hear of Tom’s passing, likes his special Firebird and Cadillac cars. He loved to ride his scooter around the neighbor Hood. Many have said he always had a pleasent smile. Thoughts and prayers to Carol and her family. Was not able to attend visitation. James and Kathy Stover

Tom was a radiant gentleman. He always had a beaming smile and kind words. I enjoyed visiting with him as we celebrated holidays and family gatherings. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
