The April 10th entry in the guest book is wonderful. It not only speaks so well of Tom but of the impact he had on his family and others. No greater tribute can be made. The world would be so much better if we all earned such respect and admiration. Unfortunately many can't but Tom stood taller than us because he was such a unique man. How fortunate we were to have had Tom. RIP Tom.

This was a man who had never had any children of his own and married my mother who had seven grown children, and he never looked back or had any regrets. He loved us as his own and joked that he didnt have to go through the diaper stage or potty training stages, he considered himself lucky. The truth is, we were the lucky ones. He was the most gentle and loving husband that our mom deserved and for a man who had never had any children, turned out to be the greatest dad I have ever had. He was a hard working man and did so until his body would not allow it anymore. He was a dignified man, a devout christian who made sure you knew his love of God, first and formost. He was a forgiving man who never held any grudges against people who wronged him. He was the greatest grandpa who ever lived. He was a man of his word and never made promises he didnt intend to keep. He was everything we and our mother deserved and we couldnt have picked a better man to bless her with 27 years if we would have hand pick him ourselves. I love this man, will miss this man and will see this man again oneday.
