My second parents and family, I spent as much time at your home as I did mine. Things have changed through the years but my memories of the times I spent with your family never change. Best times of my life and I will always have fond memories of Tom and your entire family. I will miss him very much.

In 1968 Tom took me for my first airplane ride in his Piper Cub Seaplane.....I'll never forget him, his mild manner, and that beautiful day looking down on Lake Pleasant. I have flown many hours as a private pilot, but that day in the sky with Tom is one flight I will never forget! Thanks again Tom!
