Sorry for your loss. Tom was a great caring person. Enjoyed seeing and talking with him up by Montello. Tom liked to share prowd positive stories, especialy about his children, grandsons, sister, brothers and the entire family network. He always stressed the love of family, his years of retired and the day to day enjoyment of working the farm and caring for his animals. Tom will be deeply missed.
