  6. So saddened to hear about your dear loss Tammy & family. Holding y’all close to my heart & in my prayers. He was an inspiration to us all. He always had a smile on his face,a kind word to say & was a bright light that always shined for Jesus!! He was so proud of you Tammy being his wife & loved you and his family dearly.❤

  7. Uncle Tom you will be missed. I’ll miss your silliness. How your walked my kids on the ceiling. How you’d never pose for my many pics and usually make a silly face. I know you are in heaven making silly faces and singing with Gma/ Pona. I’m glad you’re no longer in pain and with the lord. To Tammy and all my cousins sending all my love and prayers to you during this difficult time.

  11. My heartfelt condolences to his family….Tom was a great friend and I will sorely miss our laughs together…

  15. We are so very sorry for the family’s loss, but the faith that you all have gives you comfort that you will indeed see him again.
