Tom was my younger brother. He was a sweet, calm and gentle giant of a man, very sensitive and caring when first met. Someone you felt you had known for years. I will always love you and miss you Tom, rest now in sweet peace.

Another great man taken home to our father on the wings of angels to be reunited with those who were taken before. It's does not make the sorrow of his passing any less but gives comfort to carry us through the days ahead. Good Bye Uncle Tom, you were so loved and will be greatly missed.
