You will be missed dear friend,…..may GOD REST YOUR SOUL!
My first and most vivid memory of my Uncle Tommy was the day I answered his knock at the door of my mother’s house. I didn’t recognize him, so I asked who he was. Uncle Tom chucked, and then introduced himself as “your mother’s brother Tom. That first visit (the first that I remember anyway) was great. I loved listening to stories about his travels and his funny jokes; not only that time but every time he visited Johnstown. I’ll miss you Uncle Tommy. My deepest sympathies go out to Aunt Connie and to the entire family.
Air Force Association Fort Wayne Chapter 143 sends condolences to the family. Tom was a dedicated member for 33 years, leading both Chapter 143 and IN State as president.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family God be with you. Remember tom always could get his pizza free when with the family Connie would just shake her head. Patty from First Federal.
