I've known Tom since third grade.He was quite a character growing up. I'll always remember Tom every time Ipass a softball field, golf course or .... a cigareete machine, now if we could just find the 35 cents we need for a pack. He was a genuinely friendly guy and will be missed. Rest in peace T-Ray. I'm away on vacation so I'll miss the service. Vickie, Jim and Debbie, my most heartfelt condolences. Jim Steele

One of the nicest and most pleasant gentleman I have ever met. I cant recall a time that I heard an angry word come out of his mouth (softball exemption here). If Tom was your friend, he was your friend for life. Thank you Tom for the kind words, great softball and fun times. To your friends and family, I bid you peace.
