I am devastated to hear of Tom's passing. I always looked forward to seeing his smiling face every 3 months to clean his teeth. We laughed and told stories the whole time. He was my bionic patient. My prayers and love go out to all the family on the loss of such a great man.

The "bag-man" will be greatly missed by all his friends. We will always remember his great smile and sense of humor. Never a dull moment when Tom was around and I am sure he has his eagle eye on us all now as we pay tribute to his life with us. Our prayers are with Carolyn and his family today and forever.

Carolyn, I am so sorry that I can't attend Tom's funeral service. I am still on 60mg of steroids a day right now. My immune system is real low. The Dr wants me to stay in. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family. I love you all.
