What I will remember about Uncle Tom was what fun we used to have when all of us (his four kids and the four of us) lived in Spokane and we would get together and also the warmth I always felt when we visited. Much love to Carol Sue. Deborah

Tom was a sweet and loving brother. He was always cheerful and happy to hear from me when I called. He kept a positive attitude and lived his life as best he could all to the way to the end. He was talented, well read, and a good conversationist. I will miss him, but have many warm and happy memories of him. I wish love and peace to Carol Sue and his children and the rest of his family.Sister Carol

Tommy, 4 years older than I, was a fun loving brother. He played baseball and boxed in high school. Tommy always admired our older brother, Bill and followed him in sports and into the Navy. He was a great reader and conversationalist. I will miss him so very much.

Tommy was an enjoyable brother. He was fun to talk with. He had a quick wit and a great laugh. We loved his stories and his memory. He had unlimited interests and skills. I was his youngest sister, but we had a nice relationship. We will miss him immensely.
