Uncle Tom will be dearly missed. All of Tom’s family are in our thoughts and prayers.
My sympathies to your family. I chatted with Tom last year. I worked for his dad at Rivett Lumber (in the admin office) for about five years in the late 70’s. I worked with Mr. Hickey, Eleanor Livdahl, Theresa Tabor & was the receptionist & accounts payable/receivable. Loved that job – Best Job I ever Had!!! I left to work for USPS. Time goes by so fast. I pray God’s Angels wrap their wings around you during this difficult time. Jill Ferbrache (Lindberg)
We were shocked to hear this terrible news. Rhonda and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
So sudden. So sorry.
Rhonda and family, just today, (June 13, 2020) I have learned of Tom’s passing. I only know sketchy details of this awful event; but please know, as with many others, I am deeply saddened. Tom was such a down-to-earth person. He sincerely cared for so many people and for the beauty of our great lands. He was a delight to talk with and I know he is sorely missed by all of his family and close friends. My heart is with each of you as you work through this tragic loss!
