Our Deepest Sympathy, Our hearts go out to Barb and Family We will cherish the times we had with Tom and Barb helping Mom look after the Homestead. The talks we had about Tom's interest in Wood working and Trains. Sending Our Love, Jennifer & Jim

Barb and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was such a kind and gentle soul who brought so much happiness to you. He will be missed by many and his memory cherished.

Barb, our deepest condolences. It was good to see Tom last Thanksgiving. Little did we know that it was the last time.

I worked with Tom at Hayden-MacDonald in 1974. I'll always remember his ongoing "feud" with a co-worker, Jack Linfoot. At one point, Jack (who was about 8 inches shorter than Tom) threatened him (all in fun), and Tom stared down at him and said "You couldn't kick the s*** out of a stable broom". I'll always remember that. My parents owned Jim's Variety, and they dealt with Tom, Andy Silver, Jack, Bill and others there.

So sorry for your loss.

Barb and Family We were so sad to hear of Tom’s passing. He was a kind dear friend to Donnie and I for many years and after Donnie passed he made a point of staying in touch with me Our deepest condolences.. Love Gail,Andy and Sherrie

What a beautiful picture Barb that’s the way I want to remember Tom. Knowing him as a young teenager, then a coach and then a good friend with all his smartass comments he will always be a treasure. Huck & Nessie I’m sure were there to greet him with open arms. As I said he’s at peace now it’s you that’s going to be going down this hellish road of sadness and makes me sad to know that It takes lots of friends & family to keep you going and I know you have many of both and a strength that is amazing. Sending love to all.

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to you Barb and your family. I will cherish the many little ‘chats’ on the cottage porch over the years discussing fishing, birds, lilies, weeds in the lake and sometimes even politics🤗lovingly Alanna/Ted

Barbara and family my sincere condolences on Tom's passing. I got to know Tom at many softball diamonds over the years and admired his dedication to the sport. RIP Tom

Barb and family All of us who knew Tom are better off for it. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Tom came into Barb life later and brought a quiet calm strength to Bobby and Barb. He won them over with his kindness and steady beautiful heart and soul. Not always easy I imagine but his quiet strength and humor would win anyone over. He made Barb incredibly happy and that made me happy. We are the last few remaining and love each other dearly. Barb is strong and resilient but we will all support her through this loss as a family. Much love and respect for what Tom has been to this family and the guidance and love be provided. ❤️🥰

Tom was such a quiet, gentle man. I got to know him through my brother. They were good friends. Relieved that he is no longer suffering. Thinking of you Barb.
