We are so sorry about Tom's Passing and pray God is close to the family at this time. I was in the USMC also from 1956-58 and may have been in when Tom was?? Check out the Marine Hymn for where the Marines are now. God Bless All. In Christ,"

"Dear Shirley, Todd, Tami, and family, Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. I can not help but reflect on our days together at Center School. Your husband and dad was always supportive of you as Center Tigers. He was a tease indeed, and his smile and laugh were contagious. We live with the promise we will all be together again one day in our heavenly home. Tom will be there to greet us! Thinking of you, Gary and Barb McClure "
