Aunt Nancy and Family: so sorry about this loss. Uncle Tom was a special person. Ever the gentleman, he always made the Sullivans feel welcome when we visited. I'm sure you have many memories of him as husband, father and grandfather. Warmest regards.

Dear Nancy and family,
I am so sad to read of Tom's death. It has been a lot of years but the memories are fresh. St. Mary's school, Sr. Francis Mary, Joanne Tifft (Papoccia), when Tom took the new job in here I stayed with you during the week. Good and warm memories of knowing you and Tom.

Tom was a golfer and a competitor. He was an original member of our golfing group. He was special and will be remembered in a special way by all who had the pleasure of competing and socializing with him. As a family member or friend we will all miss his buoyant spirit.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. I will always hold fond memories of my cousin Tom. I had been trying to reconnect with him in the past year, as I did more research into our family history. I regret that I was not able to do so to share that I was able to add to the research Uncle Bob had begun many years ago. Love and peace to the entire Unzicker Family.
