Tom was a good neighbor and friend and it’s with a heavy heart that I’m writing this . We always had some good stories to tell one another , they must have been true ’cause I don’t think we could make up some of them , it would take too much imagination ! LOL I am sorry for your loss Clint and Kurt and families , I will miss him as I know you all will !

Tommy always had a way of making me smile. A good memory is Dad and Tommy ordering things on Amazon and conversing about how it either worked or didn’t. I talked about the two of them being like the two guys on Secondhand Lions sitting on the porch with their shotguns waiting for the salesmen to pull up. He will be missed and I know Dad will miss his buddy coming by because Dad always had a beer in the fridge for Tom. Prayers to Clint and Kurt and the family.

I worked with Tom for several years at Praxair. I got to know him and his brother Ellis. I enjoyed visiting them. I sold Tom my red 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. I tried for years, to get it back. Ellis had a baby deer that hung around his farm. It became pretty tame for awhile. my kids thought it was cool, to pet it. I haven’t seen them in years. Sorry, for your loss. God bless your family.
