  3. Tom was an important part of our lives for many years. He was one of a kind. Great memories from the farm too. We will miss him greatly. My deepest sympathy.

  4. Such fun memories of our families getting together at the cabin on the Osage River. Getting nine cousins together was always a good time.
    Rest in peace Tom

  5. Tom will be missed but always remembered. Alot of fond memories getting together at the family cottage: hunting and fishing as kids.
    While we didn’t get together much in our adult life we always stay in contact. Tom was always soft spoken, good listen and a great storyteller.
    Our prayers go to Tom and the rest of the family.
