Tom was virtually indestructible for years. Though often sick over & again; I don’t think that he ever thought it would all run him over one day. I know if he could send us one message from beyond; of course it would be to look after his family... He did love his family above all else & struggled with his health while trying to do both. His family knows that every memory holds both sides of the equation. On good days he was his loving self & on bad days something else. Now we will struggle as well; to remember all & only of the good. He would never be able to replace them & they him. And so now we know he rests. I know he rests in in Peace & Quiet at the hand of the Lord. His struggle to survive all of his medical problems went on over a period of 2 decades. Many a mortal man has given up long bouts of all that misery. But he held out as long as was humanly possible for him to do so. And talk about friends! He had made friends @ home & around the world. He worked as Technical Support in Flight Simulation; mostly with GM Hughes & Link Simulation L-3 Corporation, until illness prevented it further. Many thanks to all whom helped so much through all the years. Tom had friends in California, Arizona, Texas & Pennsylvania - amongst other places. He made acquaintances at the drop of a hat & friends overnight. Kindness & sincerity the key. A lot of variables in all of of that; but he always tried as best he could. Anyway; we miss him & all wish there could have been a bit more time with him. Good Lord please watch over his loved ones & keep them safe from harm. & thanks too Tom for all of the years with you, that you did give us. We love you too.
