Dear Susan and Family,

I was very lucky to have known your Dad, a kind man, always with a smile and laugh that makes you feel good. He was dear friends with my Aunt Cleo for many years, and became part of our family. Not only was I lucky to have known him thru Cleo, but also bowling on friday nights. No matter how bad I was, Tom always had a huge smile for me.

I am sorry for your loss, we will all miss Tom.

Sincerly, Donna Ross
