Uncle Tom

Hey, I'm Kevin, Tom's nephew. It's hard for me to describe just how much I'm going to miss him, and therefore, I'm not quite sure where to start...........probably the best memories that I have of my uncle are when my Grandma was still alive, and the Christmases that we'd all be together, crammed in my Grandma's house. On either Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day we'd pack a huge picnic and go to the beach, where we'd spend the majority of the day, exploring tidepools, talking, laughing, sharing stories, and ofcourse eating. Tom was one of those people that you were always wishing you could have spent more time with, but it also made me cherish the times we were together, so much more!
I'll never forget back in 2005, I was going through a rough patch, and Tom called me to tell me how much he loved me, how proud of me he was, and how happy he was for me. Talking with him that night, was pretty awesome, and it made me feel really good!
The last family trip that we all went on, was the last time that we were all together at the same time, we went camping up at Patrick's Point for a week. It's incredible up there, and it reminded me alot of those Christmases when Grandma was alive, and those trips to the beach we took. I remember that week of camping just the mindless chatter, the laughs, the stories, and the closeness that I'm pretty sure we all felt! Tom was an amazing, sweet, honest, blunt, smart, and all around just a great guy that I'm so happy that I was able to have in my life! I'll always love and miss him!

Uncle Tom

Hey, I'm Kevin, Tom's nephew. There's so many things that I loved about my uncle, so it's hard to start..... I think my favorite memories were all of us being together at Christmas, back when Grandma was alive. On either Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, the whole family would pack a huge picnic, and go to the beach. We'd spend the day laughing, talking, exploring the tide pools, getting soaked by those "surprise" waves, and ofcourse eating!
Tom was always one of those people that I wish I'd seen more of, but it just made me cherish the times I did get to see him so much better! I'll never forget back in 2005, Tom called me to tell me how much he loved me, how proud he was of me, and how happy he was for me. That meant the world to me! The last family trip we all took, was the last time we were all together at once, and we went camping for a week up at Patrick's Point. That was an amazing time, everyone was so happy to all be together! He was such a great, caring, honest, blunt, simple, and sweet guy, and I love him very much!
