So sorry for your loss. So many memories of growing up with this family at that little house on the corner. So much laughter through the years.
Who else has homemade root beer in their bathtub?
And all the birds? Getting scared while watching movies, eating tacos with ketchup, riding in the smurf-mobile.
Hugs to all across the miles. May you be comforted in happy memories and stories that everyone will be sharing about Tom

So sorry about Tom: He was one of a kind and always put everyone else first. Many times over the years he showed who he was and what he valued most, his wife, family, and friends. His sense of humor and the little things like the smiles he got from all the kids that he loved to pick on brightened everyone's day. He could fix anything and was the kind of neighbor that many only dream of having. It was always about the smile that made it worth it. Tom was golden and made the world a better place. I'm extremely grateful to have known him. Jim McCall

My Mom thought the world of Tom. He was so kind and generous to her and myself. He did and expert job keeping the grounds at Findlay Country Club top notch. He was simply the best small engine mechanic around. As my Mom has just passed they are up in heaven in a better place both champing at the bit for spring to sprout. God Bless.
