I condolences to the family. Tom was a very humble man who often put other peoples interest ahead of his own. He was very inquisitive in his conversations with me. He love to talk about fishing and hunting and his grandkids and wife Sue. He was a great friend to my parents and a friend to me, when I think of Tom, I think of why don’t we have more people on the planet like Tom. He made major contributions in the military, and even greater contributions later in life.
Dearest Sue and family,

Dear Sue and family,
I’m very sorry for your loss. Tom was a wonderful man. I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. The times we spent together when we visited him in Florida were truly special and always filled with lots of laughter. It makes me very happy knowing he got to share his life with you and your children and grandchildren. I’m sure he was a amazing husband, father and grandfather.
‘Uncle Tom’ I will never forget you and I will always love you!
Love,

Sue and family,
I only met ‘uncle’ Tom twice, when we were visiting Florida from Belgium, but after knowing him for 5 minutes I loved him already. He charmed me and my kids, with his warm personality and his positive ways. Such a wonderful person! I’m happy he got the family he deserved. I can imagine that meant a lot to him. He had a great way with kids.
Lots of strength to you all.
Love,
Tessa

One great guy. He will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
Suzanne, I’m so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. I knew him from East Liverpool he was a very special person. And I’m sure will be dearly missed by many! You and all his family will be in my thoughts and Prayers!!🙏
I knew Tom from East Liverpool, Ohio. He lived there before he moved to Florida. He was a good guy. I moved to Clearwater when he was also there. I left for California and lost touch with him. I have contacted some of my friends from East Liverpool to let them know and they were saddened. God bless him.
