I don't know where to begin with sharing the memories of my Uncle Tom Gleason, but here goes:



- summers and Christmas vacations in Huntington Beach California

- Disneyland and Knots Berry Farm trips in California

- his baritone voice and the way he always listened intently to what his nieces and nephews said

- Uncle Tom flying in for every family occasion over the last several years

- Talking about his travels to India over pizza at Vito and Nicks

-- feeding/burping me in the house on May Street when I was a baby (OK, I don't remember that one!)

There are thousands more but just wanted to say we will all miss this great man, good and loving father and wonderful uncle!
