I enjoyed many adventures with  Tom during our tour with the 13th field artillery battery,24th Div in Korea. He was a blast.

Tommy was more than a cousin to us, he was a double cousin. Our Mothers sister married our Dad's brother.  Tommy lived with us for many years and was a brother to us.  Lots of Happy memories Lots of Love.

Jude and family,
I am so grateful that I got to talk with Tom just a few weeks ago.  It was definitely a ""God thing"".  I will always remember Tom's gentleness.  Jude, thank you for making me feel part of your family when I lived in Colorado.  Love to you all.  God bless you.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Tom's family.  I had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Judy in July of 2007.  Though he is gone from our immediate lives he is never gone from our hearts.  Only through God's great love will we meet again.  Keep the faith and he will guide you through these difficult times.

Dear Judy, Barb and Chris,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Please know you are in my prayers. I have fond memories of Tom entering your lives!
God Bless you,
Shannon (McArdle) Joseph

Judy and Family,
So sorry to hear of Tom's passing.  You are a wonderful and caring family.  The girls and I have so many memories we will cherish of your kindness.  May God be with you during your time of mourning.  Love Denise, Tara, Amber and Kelsey.

Aunt Judy and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss.  We will all miss Tom and his big heart and big smile.  Please let us know if we can do anything for you.
Love,

Sorry to read of Tom passing away.
He was a good man to know and work with at TWX.  He will be missed greatly by all that knew him.

Dear Barb and family, 
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I know how much he meant to you. It is so hard to lose a parent, they are lifelong friends and confidants. I am sure that he will now become a guardian angel always looking down and watching over you and helping to keep you safe. Dad's are like that, yes they are! You will find yourself asking yourself what would dad do if he were here and many times that is exactly what you will do too. Please know that I am thinking of you and that my prayers for healing and comfort are with you and your family. Please let me know if I can do any-thing for you.  
                Love,
           Anne Dandois
PS I miss you!

Judy,Tommy, Barb and Chris,
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.   Your family has been like a  second family and I have so many great memories with all of you.   How many nights did we all sit around the kitchen table and laugh till are sides were hurting when we all lived on 18th Av.   Big Tom was such a huge presence in everyone's life, his welcoming smile and generous heart.   He will be missed.  All my love,  Tamy

Judy and Family We're so sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you

Judy and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours, we will truly miss Tommy and are happy to have him as a new Angel watching over us.  Love, Hugs & Kisses.  Marti and family

To a great friend
Oh, what a great friend, husband and father you are. From the first time we met you and Judy you opened your hands and hearts to my family and me and it felt like we knew you all along. The times we spent with you always made a world in a hurry seem to slow down to that friendly pace you carried with you. A smile, a darn good joke, or just talking seemed comforting to all those around you. I have so much I could say, and so many memories but there is not enough words to explain how you made people feel to have had you in the world.
 We will miss you, and we love you with all our hearts.
""Shoot-the-moon"" Tom Riggs.
Loved and always remembered,
Wolf

Dear Judy,Tom Jr. and Girls;
  Sorry I can't be there with you all at this hard time in your lives. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
  I remember when I was in the 8th. grade. Tommy was in Korea, and we wrote letters to each other. I was so proud of my Big Brother, whenever I got a letter from him, I would show it off to everyone. I will miss you, Big Brother.
                 Love Your Sis

My favorite memories of Tommy are from when we lived in Ariz. He was always making me laugh & telling jokes. He was like a big brother. Sending our love & prayers. Wish we could be there with you.Love always

Aunt Judy, Barbie and Chrissy,
A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world.  Uncle Tom was one of those people who was always good and kind and was always there to help.  We loved the ""Dream Catchers"" that he made and the time he spent with Chad when he was a little boy. Tom will be missed... Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
We love you, Pam and Bob

Dear Barb and Family
I was sorry to hear about your dad. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you now.
Love,
Susan George

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time in your lives.  May you find comfort in the fond memories of Tom (dad)  Cheryl, Bob, Joshua, Noah, Jacob and Megan Adams

I always felt like we were brother and sister. At least we fought like we were.  I love you

I'm so sorry to hear about Tom. my thoughts & prayers are with you.  love ya Marlene

I'll remember ""Big Tom"" as the big man with (at least) one teeny pup sheltered in the warmth of his coat.
His nature was just that -- warm and generous.  Our thoughts are with you all in this difficult time.

Tommy used to come to our house when I was little and play old maid with us. That would have been around 1963. My mom (Wanda Faye) had our 8mm movies put on VHS and there he is helping me win!!!!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God Bless.

Uncle Tom, 
From the time I met you back in 2003 your family opened the door and their hearts and you where were right there, with your big bear hugs. You let me be a part of a family who always had funâ??¦you will be missed very much and I will never forget you. My Heart goes out to your family in these difficult times May god blesses you and be with you. I love you Uncle Tom        Tabatha Marshall

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are thinking of you and saying a prayer.  We love you much.

All of you are in our prayers.  I will call you Wed. morning.  Our love and blessings in Christ, Pastor Gibb and Bev
