Pat, my heart is with you and your family. I have missed you over the past ten years. You always spoke so fondly of your Tom. I was hoping to get to the service to see you again but cannot make it. Thinking of you and praying for your comfort, Marty Howland
We met Tom and Pat when we moved next door to them in December, 2008. They welcomed us and brought a candle ornament that they made. We put it out every year. Tom and John often used to cut grass at the same time with their riding lawn mowers. They enjoyed it and I referred to them as the Dueling Lawn Mowers--they had fun with the task.
We missed them when they moved and were always so happy to see them when they stopped by to see us if they were in town.
Tom had such a sincere caring way about him. He will be missed by many. His last words to John were "I love you, buddy." We all love you, too, Tom.

We love in life and we will continue to love after death. This is one of the hardest remembrance letters I will ever write. Tom and Patti are two of our best friends and Tom was like a brother to Fred! We will miss him more than we can ever express. I know that all the fun, good times and memories will forever be with us and will remain in our hearts. All our love and prayers are sent to Patti, Tricia and Tommy and their extended families.
Love always,
Janie and Fred
We are so very sorry for your loss!! We are so thankful that we got to meet Tom! Didn't know him well, but had a really good time at our 4th of July party years ago! Trish is part of our family, and we have heard many things about her dad. He was an amazing father and husband! We know he is deeply missed! Prayers to all his family!!
Life has a funny way of teaching us. It will create deep sadness so we know how to truly understand happiness. It will create chaos in our lives so that we may appreciate the peaceful times and it will take those we love away from us that we truly understand what their presence meant to us. Rest in peace by friend. You were loved by all who knew you.
It has been a gift to Thomas and I to have lived, loved and laughed for so many years with Tom & Patty and the entire family.. There are so many memories our hearts are broken. I’m sorry I can’t be there due to my job but Thomas made it up. Know that the family is in our prayers.
We will miss Toms big heart and his laugh as he was so fabulous at laughing straight from his heart.
Love you all, Thomas and Karin Bowling
