Dad.

I love looking at pictures of him as a kid. First of all he’s so cute. He looks like he’s having a lot of fun. He was robust and healthy unlike in his later years.

I love all the hats! It’s funny how kids used to wear the short pants back then. The girl in the pics is a neighbor he hung out with all the time. Here’s Tommy at his birthday party:

It was a year ago that he left us. What a funny guy! He liked telling stories and playing golf and going out with his friends. He liked his boat while he still had it. He loved to read and to watch movies, especially westerns. He kept up on current events and loved to read about Civil War history. He and he friend Gordon would go on trips to visit battle sites. He cared about veterans. He was cremated and will be buried in Randolph, VT.
