    I only knew Tom for a short time. But yet I feel I lost a great friend. His Love of family and faith in God was evident in Tom’s actions and words. His family, at this difficult time, can have peace in knowing that Tom is in the Loving arms of Jesus. Tom, you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.

    It was a shock to hear of Tom’s passing. We will certainly miss him at the weekly Thursday morning Men’s Bible Study at Downtime Cafe. May the good Lord comfort and bless Tom’s family in this time for grief.
