I am so sorry for your loss glo and all family. Tom became a friend when he met glo.I think it was love at first sight for them.He was always a friendly sweet guy who always had this smile and twinkle in his eyes when you saw him because he was with glo. Thru the years when our group was out together we all enjoyed his company. All the years they were married tom smile and twinkle in his eye kept burning strong.I know you will be missed as much as you were loved to infinity and beyond.
My sincere sympathies to Glo and the family. Such a difficult time for them. I wish I would have had the opportunity to see Tom and Glo together one more time before he passed. Prayers to the family. May Tom’s memory be eternal and he rest in peace now.
Gloria an family you have my deepest condolences. I know Tom will be entering the gates of heaven. He was a special person. He showed it in every way. His love for his family an especially you Gloria was one that could be seen by all. Tom was a friend to all. Remember all the good times you had together especially in the beginning an the end. . I pray that you. Julie; cousins Mary. Jim and Joe. Have peace with his passing
Lost touch with family ,but remember our 4th of July Richardson reunion at our house out in st. Charles county my all of us kids ran around like playing in the woods we had country and had fire works kids taking turns setting on the old ice cream makers we all thought that was so fun and the Uncles playing poker and arguing lol they loved to argue ll! That’s my memory’s
My wife Lisa and I send our condolences and our love. We will be unable to attend the visitation and funeral but we will be thinking of Tom and his family during this time. I will miss my Uncle Tom and all of the July 4 and Christmas celebrations at his home. I have fond memories of him. God bless.
Glo,I was so shocked and sad to hear of Tom’s passing. I’m glad you have strong family support.
Tom was a good friend always a smile, he liked everyone. And everyone liked him.
He adored his family.I remember him and
JULIE having DATE NITE,
I’m sure he loved it as much as Tom did. He will be so missed by all.
My sympathy to all.
We will always treasure the memories of us as we all started our lives as “adults”, attending each other’s weddings, game nights, just hangin’ out. A snowfall right after Christmas happened at one of our holiday gatherings and the boys went out to have a snowball fight! I laughed so hard I went into labor the next day and had our daughter, Jennifer! As we got busier raising our families, our times together got to be fewer and fewer. Keeping in touch through Christmas cards and the miracle of Facebook was so special.
Sending prayers, Gloria, Julie, and grandkids, to ease the pain of loss. Tom will be in our hearts forever.
Gloria,
I am so sorry that I was unable to attend the funeral Mass for Tom. Unfortunately, I have had some medical issues recently that prevented me from being there. Know that I have placed him in my prayers. The two of you have been special friends of mine and extremely supportive of my career at the bank
