you and family. I have memories as a kid going to Gramma and
Grampa’s and Tom having is radio on playing the beautiful 40’s

Dear Marion and family – I opened the paper today and read this very sad news! When I worked at Exeter Dental Care, Tom and Sam often greeted me at the beginning of the day with a smile from both! Regardless of the weather conditions, he would take Sam for his daily walk. He was such a positive man, and his smile was contagious! My deepest sympathy to all of you, and may you rest assure he and Sam are once again walking together with the wind in their back and the sun on their faces! Love, Sharon
