Chris,
So very sorry for your loss. I remember Tom well from working at Chloride. Take care.
Chris,
Laurie and I are so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great guy and I am very thankful we all got together last summer at Donna and Alan’s for a much over due Kelly- Dries reunion. It is one that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
TK was a truly gentile man who instilled kindness in everything he did, a friend that no matter how often you seen him, you felt a closeness to as anyone. A tragic loss at such a young age. We all thought we had much more time with him but there must a calling at a higher place for him, may he share in the promise of everlasting life in the kingdom of god. God rest your soul TK, our prayers continue with his family and their void.
Chris,
My sincerest sympathy to you and your family. May you find comfort in your strong faith and special memories.
