My sincere sympathy to each and everyone of you. Your dad was a true gentleman. His love for his family was evident in his day to day conversation. I will never forget our many good chats and his greeting everyday when he got off the elevator lunch bag in hand and letting me know he was going to go and have lunch with his girlfriend. He will be missed, but it is rewarding to know he is now with the love of his life.

Tom was a very special man and he had a way of making you feel special. I remember when he use to come to Trinity United and sat in front of him, back then I had a red winter jacket and he called me his lady in red. I will remember you always Tom. God Bless! Say hi to my mom & brothers

My memory is from the Beaver Bible Class. In the 1960s as a child, I recall at the end of class, this handsome, nattily dressed man would acknowledge every man, woman & child in the room by name. When Tom said my name, I felt special.
I will always be grateful to Tom for reaching out to me after my Dad, former Beaver Jack Webster, died. We had a few tel. calls. Tom was a gentleman and a gentle man. Please accept my condolences.
Hal & Madelyn Rutledge says

Bonnie and Ken Pratt says
Sorry to learn of Tom Sr. passing. He was someone you could really enjoy a conversation with. I suppose because of his background in fashion but he always was a sharp dressed man. He will did a lot in the community and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

The world has lost a terrific, all-round man and we were so fortunate to be able to get to know him. He’s probably playing hockey now with his friends, including George Parsons! Like the good old days!!
