Tom was a selfless, caring, family man with one of the brightest personalities. He had opened his home up to help the less fortunate, given his time to serve God and others, and spent countless days with his grandchildren when they needed him. Up until his last days on earth, he was still cracking jokes that made even the nurses smile. His love and humor are unforgettable, and we will all miss him dearly.
