Hello Terry, Shawn, Little Tommy and Maureen–
Sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. My sister has been keeping me up-to-date on the arrangements, but we are going to be out of town on Saturday. I feel bad because I wanted to see all of you. Flowers will be coming from Julie’s.
Tom worked in the same Bldg. at Kodak (B-313) when I first started there in 1981. He was a Good Mechanic for the “Sam Machines”. When Cub told Dad that “Tom-Tom” was in Hospice, Dad said, ” all the old ones are going”. I know he remembered your Dad—even at 88 yr. old—and all the times we had as kids…Shawn running to jump in the pool First !
Take Care and know that our thoughts are with you even though we cannot be there in person. Love to All.
Sharon
