I am sorry to hear this. I grew up with this family. I saw Tom at the funeral home when my brother Richard had passed away. We visited for a bit. He didn't know who I was until I told him. He said "I should have known, you look just like your mom. That made me smile. My love & thoughts are with the whole family.

I will miss my father and would have loved the chance to say goodbye

Angie & Gordy, there are no words that could comfort you guys at this time. Your daddy was a very loved man. He had that loving nature that was irresistible. Your have in your heart and memory, dont lose that. Time does not heal losing a parent, but knowing that some day you will be with helps. He loved his kids more than life. Just know that he suffers no more and peace is what he now has in Heaven. That much I do know.
