Things that will continue to remind me of Tom:
Stopping for beans on the way to or from Camp Misquah
The fresh water tap
Chatting on porches
Dad jokes
You will be missed by so many.
Thinking of Dan and Cynthia and all the fam today. Love always <3

Tom, your ability to smile through all your trials amazed me. I could always count on a good laugh during your appointments (and the occasional "Dad Joke" cringe!). Bon Voyage, my friend.
