Tom you are soo dearly missed by your wife. Life will never be the same without you here. I know you had to go as your body had endured so much and it was time for you to get your wings and fly to your eternal home... you will always be missed, never forgotten... Your legacy will continue on in your family and all of us who were blessed to have known you will always remember you with smiles on our faces....
Love Always,

My heart goes out to you all. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the service, but my thoughts will be with you all.
Tom was such a great person alway treated me with respect and has always made me laugh when around him, because he never called me by my name. Tom had a nickname for me from day one and that's what I will miss the most now that he's gone, and no one can ever call me that again until I see him again. I was so glad to call him my friend.
May God be with you all tomorrow and in the days ahead.
My Deepest Condolences.
My prayers, hugs, and love to all.
RIP Tom
Love Ba Ba Ba Beverly

Tom was one of my old drag racing buddies. He came to Churubusco to visit last fall and I took him for a ride in a car that my brother and I built. We had such a good time laughing and talking about the good old days. He was a big guy with a big heart. Rest in peace Big T.

My deepest sympathy to all the family.
Though I worked at Dana, I really got to somewhat know Tom and Jennie through Brooklyn, as I tutored her with Study Connection at Price.
May his star now shine in the heaven and God's peace and strength surround all during this time of sorrow.

Tom will always be remembered as our "favorite neighbor." We spent many hours with the VanGorder and Wysong families...cookouts, working in the garages, and watching Mr. Mulder teach his son how to use a hoe in the front yard! We had a ton of fun on Third St...Steve, Stephanie, Tim and Josh: although we haven't seen you for years, you are not forgotten, especially at this sad time. Hugs and kisses to all of you, Christy, Brittany, Brooke and Andrew Steel
