Linda & Family, I am so sorry to hear about Tom's passing. He sure fought a long and hard battle. Lots of courage in that man. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you. He would want you to be strong and know he will not have to suffer anymore. I have known you and Tom a long time and I know how much you will miss him.

Dear Linda and Family,Please know that you all have our sincere sympathy and are in our thoughts and prayers. We are very sorry that we won't be able to attend cousin Tom's memorial service this coming Sunday. Tom and I haven't stayed in close touch with each other for many years; I'm sorry to say it's been almost 50 years. But that doesn't mean Tom and you were forgotten; I always looked forward to your Christmas card and hoped for a bit of family news. I always have very fond thoughts of my summers in Kenosha staying at Uncle Bob and Aunt Alma's, and getting in trouble with Tom and Sharon. We send you our love and condolences. Bob & Diana

I haven't seen Tom for many decades, but always enjoyed his visits to Peshtigo with parents (my favorite uncle, Bob Dupons) and our trips to Kenosha with my parents.
