Tom made lots of friends working downtown at the parking garage. Employees at Port Lawrence Title Company, including Cindy, Joan, Pat, Jennifer and myself would see Tom almost every day and he knew us all by name and gave us a friendly greeting. We will miss Tom greatly.

To Tom's family,
Sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Tom and I were classmates at Lincoln grade school. I remember Tom for his friendliness and fun loving ways with always a joke or two available to keep us in stitches. I last saw Tom at our class reunion.
I offer my condolences to all of his family.
God be with you all in your time of sorrow.
Tom Russell (and wife Sandy)
