Patty, Jillian, and Craig, We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Bob ran into Tom not too long ago and came home and told me about their conversation. Bob said Tom was very inspiring-he talked about what a great life he had and his wonderful family. He was so positive. The conversation made an impact on us. I'm sure the positive spirit of your husband/father made an impact on many. Love and prayers, Bob, Kathy, Ryan, and Megan Hunt

Couldn't help thinking of Tom throughout the Superbowl last night. Some of our fondest memories outside of baseball were his great Superbowl parties. The Giants winning made me think of him even more. We'll miss you Tom! Love, Jim and Margie Gibson
