Chris and family,
We feel such gratitude to have met you and Tom at Staybridge
Suites in Madison just over a year ago. The time was short and
yet so intense as we each traveled a different
transplantation path, but all of us together. Thank you for
making the effort to celebrate Susan's birthday with us and for
the heart + cross necklace we will always wear with special
meaning, remembering Tom and you. You have been through so
much. Your strength together has been remarkable and Godly.
Thank you for sharing it with us. May God comfort you deeply
and hold Tom in His lap now.
Our thoughts, prayers, and love,
Susan and Bob Thompson
Chris,
All that know us,know how Ann & I feel about Tom. When you and
Tom arrived at he Madison VA in Nov 2008, we became fast
friends. We were each others support. Tom would come to my room
in the VA and we would watch sports (just about anything
competitive)just about all day & evening. If we weren't
watching sports, we would discuss sports, family,friends and our
own personal histories.
I know I'll miss Tom very much. Our companionship to each other
while waiting for our transplant cannot be explained except to
say it was "GOD SENT".
GOD BLESS Tom, you and your families and friends during this sad
but at the same time joyous moment. Joyous because Tom is now
"at home" with the LORD.
Love Always.
Mike & Ann Straw
We are so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Tom
was a good man and will be missed by many. One of the pluses of
working at the Lancaster Post Office was working with Tom and it
has not been the same since he left. It's hard to believe we
worked together for 30+ years, but he was a great friend! The
"Knuckle Open" will continue in October, but won't be the same
without Tom!
Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Larry & Carol Deckert, Lancaster, PA

Love Always,
Mary Oakes

I was just thinking of Tommy several weeks ago
even though I haven't seen him for many years. He was one of the
few good ones and made my life a nicer journey. My thoughts are
with you.

Dear Chris and Family,
I’ve known Tommy for over 40 years. We were both 19 and in the
military. Being adults but still teenagers we were able to
share innocent fun loving adventures while being true to the
uniform we wore.
Tommy and I were like brothers but it was more than that.
Undying friendship that space and time could not erode. I know
that he loved and cherished his family above everything else;
that’s the character of a real man.
Today a piece of me died. But a greater part of Tom’s spirit
lives on in me. For that I’m a better husband, father, friend.
I’m truly blessed for having a very special friend.
God bless you and your family. Tommy it’s not goodbye; it’s so
long.
Love,
Mickey, Millie and Derek Ross
We are sorry for your loss. We send you our
condolences, we will miss him greatly. Please be comforted to
know he is in a better place with no more pain and suffering and
is in his eternal resting place with his Heavenly father.
Don Graeff and family.
He was good to me...
