Tom was a devoted father and loving grandfather, with great integrity who left his mark on everyone he met.

Ashleigh stood by him during his time of need and always kept a smile on his face and if he needed something, she was there. Tom taught his grandson, Logan, all he knew about the outdoors. One of their favorite hobbies together was going to the Telco Gunning Club where pop taught Logan to shot skeet.Tom always told his grandchildren to have a dream and never give up. They will carry those words with them forever. Tom was truly loved. We miss you already, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.
