My brother sent me this selfie when he figured out the selfie function on his phone...  it made me bust out laughing then and I still laugh every time I see it! Thank you my brother for all the laughs you gave me! Miss you.

...and I was telling you" You'll never catch anything on that lure!" Was I ever wrong

Still miss you my brother- 8 years gone now and feels like 20.  I thank God I have so many memories that I will cherish and share with everyone. I know you're keeping an eye on me!

Poppo, 8 years ago today we lost you. It doesn’t feel like that long because the memories I made with you are still so present in my mind. I see you in every sunset. I love you, still.

Tom,
I am truly heart broken to hear of you leaving us, but I have no doubt that you are sitting at the right hand of our Lord and Savior. My friend, I have spent years trying to locate you to let you know the impact that you had on my life. During my teenage years, you were much more that my supervisor at Kroger, you were my friend and my mentor. I remember fondly how the other employees would get mad because you would call me over the PA to come to your office to watch the Pistons games or just talk about life. I remember how emphatically you told me to go to college and get my education. I didn't realize at the time that we were bonding, and I wish more than anything that I could tell you that it took me some time, but I finished school and got a degree. You would be happy to know that my job consists of being a mentor to our youth and shining a light on those that are finding their path in life.

I know I am only 6 years late  however I lost touch with you.
Today I was thinking about you and googled you to find out where you might     Be then I found what I did not want to find.
I thought of you many times  since we went lost touch.
You were with me the day when you accompanied me  on the worst day of my life up to them.
During the following days you were by my side and made me laugh during trying times.

I will never forget you my great friend, RIP .
Tony Lijoi


Its been almost 7 years since you were here and I still miss you every day. Not only my big brother, but my best friend as well. And the impact you had on people, I don't think you ever realized.  So many great memories of growing up together. I'm sure you're smiling in Heaven and laughing about the times we shared as kids.

Miss you my brother...

Pops, I´ve been thinking about you so much today.  Because your smile no longer brightens my life, it has turned grey.  I do hope  that you are happy though, and that you´re in a better place than this world.. because you were to great for it anyway.  I can´t wait for the day that I get to see you again. I love love love love love you so much with all of my heart and I miss you still as much as I did the day after you passed and a week/month/and year/etc.

Poppo you were the sweetest man I've ever known. Happy birthday up in heaven poppo I love and miss you so much.

I worked with Tom. The nicest man I have ever met. Also kind, sweet and warm. He had such a great outlook on life. So honored to have known him and be around him the time I was.

Dad there is no one as special as you. You were everything a man should be. Thank you for loving me the way you did. I will miss you every second of every day. Our family will never be the same without you. I love you.

I also had the honor and pleasure of knowing  Mr Tom Hobbs. In the short time that i knew this man.  He taught me a life time of special positive quotes on life. He made me think twice on how to react on the many of lifes'  negative problems  throw our way. I will never forget this special, special man.  Your friend forever,  The ("Tom, and Jerry show")      Jerry  Bonello Farmington Michigan

Mary I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! This was such a shock, if you need anything please let us know.

So thankful I had the pleasure of calling Tom a friend for 10 years. He was the kindest, warmest, most gentle soul, who loved his family so much. I will miss his laugh and soft voice so very much. Xoxo "Sweet Pea".

I will always be grateful to "Tom for his support when going through a difficult experience in my life. He was their if I needed him and he was only a phone call away. I will be forever grateful that I had the opportunity to know such a kind & caring man.

Garrit B.Winters      Tom was a great man. I proud to have known him and worked with him for almost 15 years. A family man who loved his light of his life Mary . Anyone who had the fortune to know him was a better person because of his attitude and sense of humor. I can't describe the hurt of losing Tom but I can tell you I am proud to have called him my friend. God Bless your soul Tom Hobbs.

Tom you will be missed by so many! You had a way of putting a smile on everyone you came in contact with! Prayers for Mary and the family

Tom was a "good guy". We had the fortune to know him for ten years as his neighbor. He had an easy going attitude. We have been neighbors for ten years and whenever he saw me working in the yard, he always ran over to shake hands and see how I was doing and talk some Politics. He will be missed. Sadie and I are so sorry for your loss Mary. You are definitely in our thoughts and prayers.

A great man left earth way too soon.  I had the pleasure of working with Tom at the Plymouth and Novi stores.  He was a true gentleman, always made me laugh, kind words to all, and the first to give out hugs to brighten your day. He was a joy to be around.  Tom you will be missed dearly.  Prayers to the family - he has touched so many - until we meet in heaven my dear friend.
