Dear Ed, Catherine, Bill, Jack, Deb, Mame and Family,

We offer our sincerest condolences for the loss of Tom.

You are all so fondly in my mind from our time in Pierport, at Tom's family homes, and also visiting Tom in Hyde Park. My thoughts continue to be with you now.

Loving regards to the entire family,

Christian "Gary" Olsen-Synrod

I have so many wonderful memories of my Uncle Thomas Irwin I wouldn't even know where to begin. My fondest memories are of Christmas at "Toms place" he always made the holildays so special. I was so happy that I was able to spend some time with him this past April in Las Vegas. He is going to be missed.
