Relation: “Old” friend!
Sending sincere condolences to Hala, Sarah,Britt,and families; and to Vicki, Robert, and Nancy. Tom was my first and best friend at Fisher Memorial school in fifth grade. Kind thoughts and prayers for all.
From: Ann (Bonnell) Kelley
Relation: Family Friend
So sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. Tom and I attended school together from grade one, right through to graduation. His parents and mine were good friends throughout their married years. I remember him as a fun “cheerleader” at the high school basketball games, and a huge lover of everything “outdoors”. This is another family connection lost. Sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. He will be missed.

It is with great sadness to hear of Tom’s passing and my deepest sympathy to Hala and family. Tom was a person who I enjoyed working with and grew into a friendship that I cherished. Always smiling and always ready to give a helping hand. RIP my friend and may Hala and the family hold onto the strength of fond memories to carry them through this difficult time. Regretfully, I will be unable to attend the Celebration of Life but I will be there in mind.
