I’m so sorry to hear this. Tom( handsome) he was many of the residents I took care of. I have so many good things to say about this man. He had so many stories to tell. But most of all. On how much love he had for his family. He knew what days, times events Barb was doing. He talked so much about her and the little granddaughter of hannah. I remember her walking down the hallway. Where papa Tom. He loved sitting outside in the sun with his brown hat on. And the yellow blanket that was made I think by barb. He likes to put his fingers threw the holes of the blanket. His laugh was contagious and sweet. Comb his hair a certain way. I could keep going about tom( handsome). This man is going to be missed by many family and friends.and the care takers. I’m sorry for you loss….. sandy Dorrance. He called me(beautiful) Longview
Our deepest heartfelt sympathies in your loss. Tom will be missed. He was such a giving man. His talents, warm heart, and smile will be our loss and Heaven’s gain.
To Barb and family- I was very sorry to read of Tom’s passing. I worked with him at Griffin Pipe for many years. I wish to offer my sincere sympathies on your loss. I hope your wonderful memories will help you during your time of grief. Don Friedrichsen
