My deepest sympathies to Toms family. I enjoyed umpiring many a softball game with Tom. His integrity and love for the game was second to none. Rest in peace knowing you are now reunited with your soulmate Nancy.

Beth, Matt and families, we are so sorry for the loss of your dad. Both he and your mom were great neighbors and friends of ours for many years.We have so many wonderful memories of softball games and neighborhood get-togethers. He not only umpired for girls' softball, but also scheduled umpires for all of the games. Mike enjoyed serving along with him on the Wonder Lake Village Board. He was a great friend and will be missed.

Beth and Matt, Remember the days of joy, your dad was quite the character. Yes, Count Dracula among my favorites! I will always remember the days of football, a Bears fan through thick and thin. I knew better than to razz him, too bad Packer fans didn't!!! Sorry Tom... I know he is resting in peace along side his true love. We will miss them both, much love and strength to you both.
