Mallory,
I’m sorry for the loss of your dad. I always enjoyed speaking with him when I saw him at Avon Grove when I was your social studies teacher. He has a great daughter to be proud. Hugs go out to you all.

Tom, you were always such a great guy and that smile! Our class lost a wonderful person. May you rest in eternal peace! Mary Bush
I was so shocked to learn of the passing of Tom. We went through many years of school together & he was always there to light up the room & good conversation. Last I saw him was a class reunion where he spoke lovingly of his family & the love of his life. My sincere condolences to all close to him.
Tom was a one of a kind person. Always a character and alway out to have fun. He was the life of the party anywhere he went. He was good guy hat will always have a spot in my heart and never be forgotten. My thoughts and condolences are with Mal and his grandchildren and anyone that knew him.
