My heart weeps for you. I lost my husband in November. We were together since we were 16 & 17, married for 49. You are in my prayers, Patty.
Always enjoyed seeing you two at river city. Spent many, what seemed hours talking about affton reunions and sports. A special soul that will be missed.
So sorry may he rest in peace was such a great guy
Tom was always kind to me and my brother (Dave). He was a great guy who will be missed.
Tom was a gentleman and friend to all in high school. All of the class of 77 will miss him.
I am so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. I worked at Maritz with him and everyone loved him. He would always come by and talk to all of us. Lots of love and prayers to all of you. Tom was such a wonderful friend.
Dear Patty (and extended family),
I want to wish my sincere condolences on the passing of your lovely husband (and family member) Tom. While I did not know him personally, I know that you loved him as many many others did as well.
You WILL get through this journey of grief.
If you EVER need someone to talk to, I am lending you my ear. You can reach out to me anytime you feel alone and feeling hopeless. I will be here for you as a cousin should be.
Your cousin,
~ Sheri Owen

Tom and I grew up together and went through school from grades 1-12 together.
We also worked together for a few years.
He was always a fun person to be around and easy to talk to. Tom should have been in sales because he could talk to anyone and everyone.
He was a dedicated worker and worked well with others.
Hard to find a better guy to be around.
He will be sorely missed in this world and left it way too early.
Patty, you have our sympathy as this is such a loss for you.
Tom was one of the most easy-going, likeable people I’ve ever met and a wonderful person who was not only a great asset to our family, but to his many friends and coworkers as well. We all loved him and will miss him a lot.
Our thoughts and prayers are now with sweet Patty, a strong woman girded by the strength of her God and Savior. My heart aches for Patty greatly, but I take comfort in the fact that Jesus is ever at her side, guiding her through this difficult time.
Love you, Patty.
Julie and Keith
Our thoughts and prayers are now with Patty and families, Jesus is is always by ther side, helping her through this difficult time.
