I grew up with Tom and we spent a lot of time together. We did a lot of fishing together. Tom was always the life of the party!

Tom and I lived across the street in Hart, MI when we were in grade school and a year apart. He played sandlot baseball with my brothers and I. I used to walk home from school with him sometimes. I met his mother a couple of times, she made marvelous cookies. Years ago, I would see him and the family at St. Pats.St. Anth. Catholic church, and Amy went to school with you, Jason.
I saw Tom at Riverside once or twice a year and helped him eat his candy, and wanted to go visit, and then I would remember Covid wouldn't permit me to visit. We had such a good time reminiscing.
May God wrap His loving arms around him, and take care of all of you also.

I deer hunted with Tom for many years at the Balavitch camp,He always had a joke to tell standing around the campfire
Rest In Peace Tom
Rest in Peace, Tom.
Have known Tom for decades, he worked with my Dad at Rosso's. Nice man.
I met Tom at Riverside Nursing Home when my Mom was there. I always enjoyed visiting with Tom and would always try and remember to bring him his favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream! He loved to talk about fishing. He was a gentle soul and my condolences to his family. Rest In Peace, Tom. Kathy Sanford.
Tom has been a friend to us since we all lived on 154th and thats over 50 years ago
