Tom, you were an amazing man. You treated my wife like she was your very own daughter and helped shape her into the wonderful woman she is today. You loved our children, always with a twinkle in your eye. Thank you for making me feel like a part of the family. You will be missed but never forgotten. You’re loved beyond measure Uncle Tom.

Mela and Family; Was so sorry to learn of Tom’s passing. Haven’t seen him and a while, but will always remember his bright smile, humor and good heart. Miss seeing you both at the bank. Sending hugs and prayers your way as you go through this difficult time. Rest in peace my friend.
