I remember Tom and Grace taking us roller skating. I’m sure they weren’t thrilled but they were nice.

Have to say it was upsetting the Thomas had 2 sons. I am one of them. I was told to be seated in the church by the friends or distant relatives and not in the immediate family section.
Also , at the cemetery, there were chairs for Toms other son and his family at the gravesite next to the casket ,cut again myself , the other son and my family were not included.
It seemed rather unusual to me and made me and my family feeling left behind and was uncomfortable

Jane, Jeff, and Randy, as well as Dick, John, Mike, and Dan, deepest condolences to you and family. As cousins, Tom and I shared a close friendship since boyhood. We were in each other’s weddings, back in 63 and 64. We vacationed in Europe together. I know .the last several years have been difficult for Tom. Due to being in south Texas, we will be unable to attend the funeral. We are saddened by your loss.
