Although we have drifted apart over the years, my fond memories of Tom go way back to our high school and college days. We spent many happy days roaming the Laketon woods and playing pool on that little table at his Mom's house on Anne St, especially our first drinking experience of splitting a bottle of gin. We got so sick I still can't touch the stuff! As roommates in Wadsworth Hall at Tech in the early 60's, we had a great time but our rough edges got rougher and I am so glad Tom met Theresa after I left. He will be missed. My thoughts are with Tom and his family. Randy Markham
Dear Gritzmaker Family,
My heart weighs heavy with the emptiness you are feeling from the loss of your husband, dad, grandpa and most of all friend. In my eyes Mr. Gritzmaker was a "gentle giant." His gleaming eyes and contagious smile were always welcoming. I can only hope that all great dads join together in Heaven to shine down happiness to those that they have left behind. If so, we will all continue to feel their support and their presence. During this difficult time please remember my thoughts are with all of you every day!
Hugs to all of you,
Kristi Ulfsax-Eigenauer
