Papa, you were such a hero in every sense of the word. You loved us so much and we were all so proud to be your grandchildren! You made us feel like we could do anything. Thank you for your service to our country and loyalty to all that you believed in. You were the kind of man that you only meet once in a lifetime and I had the privilege to call you "Papa." I know that you are healed an whole now and I can't wait to see you again. Love you!!!

Tom will be truly missed. I worked with him at the Hamilton County Nursing
Home when I was the Switchboard Operator there. I heard a lot of his war
stories during that time. He also talked highly of his family. My husband also
thought the world of Tom and would work on "Old Blue" and other projects
for him over the years. Rest in Piece our great friend until we see you again.
