All my best wishes to Tom’s family. I have many great memories of Uncle Tom and pray that God will watch over his dear family.
Ted, My condolences on the passing of your brother. May his good life and memories of him bring you peace.
I'd like to give you my deepest sympathy for the loss of Tom.. Tom is a good friend a great accountant he we did work together for many many many years always had a smile on his face. He will be missed.
Tom was my accountant for both myself and my business for many years. He always gave me good advice and assistance. I had always hoped I would win the lottery and he would come out of retirement to help. I will remember him as a guiding force and honest man to the end. He is missed.
I love you dearly and want you to know you are in my prayers.
Sister Neff, we have such lovely memories of our time together at Heber Valley Camp. You two were an awesome couple!
We were so sad to hear of Tom's passing. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Sending love.
