My fondest childhood memories were our summer visits to Tom OK. I was so fortunate to have such a loving family and uncle Tommy was such a joy to be around. I remember the hours of story telling by the grownups under the trees in front of granny and grandpaws house. Uncle Tommys military and hunting stories were exciting to listen to. And who could forget the story of the "wild man" that lurked in the woods that would catch us youngsters if we ventured in too far. I will also remember the sweet smell of your pipe smoke. Thanks for all the great memories Uncle Tommy. Rest in Peace.
