Tom was a special friend. He always looked out for others. He would call and see how I was doing and if I needed anything or if I was ready to go fishing. We had a lot of good times together. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Sincerely, Fred Mitchell.

Uncle T,
I still can’t believe you’re gone, but have been reliving all the laughs and good times we’ve shared, especially at the Homestead. I will never forget our runs across the park together after spending time with Dad, and you taking care of us each and every week. You had a heart of gold and were as generous as they come. I’ll never forget all the good times upstate, and especially my last trip up. You, my Dad and Grandpa almost have a game of 500, I can hear it now! I love you Uncle T…until we meet again.
