My name is Brian and I spent quite a bit of time fishing the last couple Springs at lyrer lake with Tom. 

He Will be deeply missed but never forgotten at lyre. 

 I took this picture of him in April this year. 

Uncle Tom will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. As my Dad's younger brother; the stories he told about how He was  the " Good boy" and how Dad got you in trouble all the time, " cracked me up" Lol!! I love you Uncle Tom. You showed me " a thing or two" about hard work, dedication and determination.  Now don't you and Dad go  dropping balloons on your neighbors up in Heaven! Good bye Uncle Tom.😢

Bob & I are sending our hugs, kisses, and prayers . We are sorry we can't  attend due to our health. We are there in spirit for the family. Tom was a quiet and kind soul and we will miss him.  I always enjoyed his fishing stories as there were many. God bless all of you on this most difficult day......... We love all of you.

My thoughts and prayers to Aunt Peggy and all of Uncle Tom's family.  I will miss his stories.  Grandma Gannon (Tom's mother) would tell stories to the grandchildren about our aunts and uncles and the silly, funny things they did as kids (like when the neighbor ladies would throw things out on trash day and Uncle Tom would go through the trash and sell stuff back to the neighbor ladies' husbands when they got home from work).  We would all get a big laugh.  Then Uncle Tom would start telling stories about the grandkids!!  Sure had some great times and will sadly miss him.  I am glad Dad was there to show him around heaven when he got there.  Love and miss you already.

I have many memories fishing with Tommy through the years! He was a good man! I always enjoyed talking with him ,he always knew what to say to me when I was down.  He has given many words of wisdom through the years. We often talked about our health problems. He inspires me to keep fighting no matter how bad it gets. I have never met anybody so strong and determined. He went through a lot of rough times. We would sit and fish for hours. We had a good time even if the fish weren't biting. We would just sit and talk about our families and tell jokes. I will miss you Tommy. I know you are in a good place not suffering anymore. And I'm sure you have a fishing pole in your hand!

My thoughts and prayers are with the family on the passing of Uncle Tom. I remember when I was growing up would spend all my summer vacation at his house. He would pretend he didn't want me there but deep down I knew he loved having me stay there......and my dad loved it too because it got me out of his hair for a few months!!!!  Rest in Peace Uncle Tom.......catch some big fish in Heaven!!!!!!!

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Uncle Tom.  Nothing ever prepares you but know we all are here for your family as you for all for us.  I for one will miss all the great stories he used to tell us about growing up.  He will truly be missed. I know Dad and Tom are probably causing trouble in heaven.  RIP    and many prayers to your family as you navigate through this loss. 
We love you all
Theresa and Mark Warren
