Dawn, we are so sorry for your loss. Gail and I always enjoyed spending time with you and Tom. Whether it was New Year’s Eve or camping at Round Lake, Tom was always “entertaining”. Good times. Those are what you what we all will remember.

I remember Tom as the biggest cheerleader the class of '77 had. He would lead the student section and we would follow. He was a great guy. So sorry for your loss.
Dear Dawn,girls and Aunt Frances I am holding you all prayerfully during this time of loss and grief. I will always remember Tom as a strong and kind husband, father, son and brother. My sincere sympathy for your families loss.
My condolences to Dawn, and the entire family.
Tom was a great guy, and I am proud to have had him as my friend.
Dawn & family, your Florida family is thinking of you and sending you our love & prayers. It's so hard to think of the right thing to say. From what I've known about Tom, he's always been a wonderful son, husband, father & grandpa. The following came across my Facebook page today. I hope it brings some solace to you all.

At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought, but what we built.
Not what we got, but what we shared.
Not our competence, but our character.
Not our success, but our significance.
Live a life that mattered..... Live a life of love.
Love, Teresa, Aunt Valona, Vicki, Jim & our families.

Dawn, So sorry to hear about Tom and all you have been going through. You have a beautiful family to help you through this. Lots of good memories and lots of love too. Take care and be well. Blessings to all, Cheryl DeWaal
