I am a distant relative of Tom. He and I even played basketball together in Lemont. We got together at the Matterhorn for lunch periodically. I remeber His Dad Frank & Mom Polly. His Dad was a cousin of My Dad . Sure will miss Tom. He also did a lot of work at the steel mill in Lemont where I was the Chief Chemist. I was so sorry to hear about Wilma when He told Me about Her illness. My deepest sympathy to All Your Family. God Bless You all.

Dear D'Ann, Kim, Tom,
I will surely miss Tom. He has been a good friend and great source of all the news on all of our old friends. He loved to hear about everyone. We shared a lot the last couple of years. I know he loved his daughter and grandchildren. They were his life.
He's in a better place now with Jesus.
