Tommy, I remember when I stayed with your family and we played games together. I rode you on the bike and you got your foot caught in the spokes and down we went. Good thing we were young and healed fast. Will miss you Tom. R.I.P.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Martin and I live across from Ron LeCaire so he would stop here a lot or they would be playing card with Ron. He loved his hunting camp up the road from us. God bless everyone, especially his mother. One never wants to outlive their children. Peace Martin and Diane Johnson
