Very sorry to hear about Tom. We go way back, and it saddens me to hear of his accident. Living in Florida and hearing about old friends is the hardest part of being retired and moving away. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

To the family of Tommy Sielaff, I knew Tom from way back in the One No. Wacker days of sharing office with Service Glass. When I got Married back in 1985 Ralph Ross had Tom make me Stained Glass inserts for a piece of furniture I had. I still proudly display it in my dining room. When he delivered it, we got to chating about where we grew up, and realized that even though there were 10 plus years between us, we both grew up in bridgeport, he knew exactly where the apartment we lived in was located and thought that maybe his present wife at the time may have babysitted me because she only lived a block away. Small world. It was a priveledge to know Tom, and my heart goes out to you, his family. I sincerely will try and be at the visitation Friday, and hope to see you Sandy. Love, Marge Fox (MassPlate Ins.)

I really don't know what to say. Uncle tommy was generous and caring, even after my aunt passed on he was still a part of our family. I always felt loved and appreciated, I don't know if i can describe any words to express the feelings i have for him or Kristen and the boys at this moment. We all loved him and we will all miss him
