R.I.P. Tom I cant beleive you are gone you were a great man!! You always said hi very frendly!!! Erica will miss you dearly!! Watch over her!!!
Every morning we would begin our day with good morning how ya doin alright and give each other a high five.
I never thought the time would come that we would all be standing here saying goodbye to my poppop. I really thought he would live forever. Every time he got sick he would literally bounce back to his normal self. Whenever I would get smart he would say I’ll put you over my knee girl thankfully that never happened lol. My poppop taught me how to use a drill, how to check the air pressure in my car multiple times, and he told me the next time we go to Walmart he would help me buy windshield wipers. My poppop loved to sit on the porch and wave to everyone. He especially loved to do his little squirrel call
“How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?” We all have special memories with poppop
Beautifully put my beautiful niece he’s flying with the angels now
I will miss waving and talking to my buddy everyday on the porch

I am so so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great friend and was always there to lend a helping hand and advise me if I needed help fixing anything. He was always on the front porch enjoying the sun shine and always had a hello for you. I am going to miss him as I already do.
My heart goes out to his family, No words can express the pain you feel, just remember the good times that you had together and be happy. He is now in a good place and no longer suffering, He is now your guardian angel and will watch over you forever.
