“I have many fond memories of Tom as a classmate playing cowboys and Indians on the school playground! We also shared relatives …. Uncle Ralph and Aunt Wilma Harshbarger as Wilma was my mothers sister.. As children Tom and I would play at Cordts Meat Market during my mother’s weekly trips to buy groceries! I am so sorry you have lost both your parents. May your memories comfort you in the days ahead. Linda Jumper”

“I’m so sad to hear of your dad’s passing! I’m praying for you both, losing both parents only a couple of months apart. You guys were great help and encouragement to your parents, They loved you dearly and we’re proud of you! Our AHHS Class of ‘64 will surely miss them and their support thru the years. Plan to hug ya both at the visitation, Pat”
