Our deepest condolances to you on this tremendous loss. Tom was always kind, thoughtful, and very sensitive to others. The many times we were together at KC and social events he was just the perfect gentleman. Tom had strong convictions and would debate them but he was always kind after a vote was taken or everyone had his say. He was never petty or spiteful. We will miss him greatly and pray for him.
Love,
Jack & Judy

Mrs. Dietz, Dave and Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great man, always one to make you laugh. I have many fond memories of your dad when all of our families got together. He was always a great supporter of school and community. I am sure he carried that same passion into caring for his grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
