We were very sorry to hear that Tom passed away. We knew him in younger days - softball playing days. Knew him as a great Cardinal fan too. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time. May your good memories replace the sadness you are feeling now.

Please accept my sympathy. Your dad was so proud of all of you.I am sure he was so happy to be a grandpa.Take care
I work as an activities assistant at the nursing home where Tom resided at. I am going to miss him so much. Every time I saw him he always had a smile on his face. He loved to watch the cardinal games. One activity that I enjoyed doing with Tom was playing catch. Every time I would play catch with him his eyes would light up and he would just smile and laugh. Rest in peace Tom you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Tom's friends and family.
Tom, you were one of a kind and enjoyed all our memories! From looking up that what was huge to me as a child tree in your front yard every Christmas amazed at how you got that Star waaayyy up near the top and seeing it from some distance in town, to shooting off fireworks in the street every 4th of July after Millstadt fireworks, to countless COUNTLESS sleepovers at your house! You took me to my first Cardinal vs. Cubs game and captured one of our all time favorite photos of Nikki and I. Nikki in her Cardinal gear & me in my Cubs gear (boo) standing up top Kiener Plazas waterfall! And the snacks you packed for every Cardinal game, pure amazement! You always smiled seeing me, often set aside a jar of pickles just for me & later asked about my kids in ball! You were a kind soul & will be missed! Love-your Shanny
PS-Weezer you & Debbie raised 3 AMAZING kids! Job well done.
I had the most Handsome Uncle with the Coolest car! A Gold, T-top Trans-am.. must have been about 1978ish.Before he had his 3 beautiful kids, there was just me. He took me to several Cardinal baseball games. He always came prepared with snacks and drinks for us. I remember a Coleman cooler jug, filled with lemonade and a bag of ice so the lemonade would not get watered down. He had something special to add to his lemonade. One game I was able to bring a friend and the night before he told us to make signs with our favorite player's name, Tommy Herr #28! We went early that game to try and get his autograph. I remember Uncle Tom making his way to the front and asking Tommy Herr to sign our ball his disappointment when he was just passed on by.
I remember just him and I going to a Cardinal Football game. I do not remember anything about the actual game other than this part that sticks out: He had us both sit on a full newspaper and he lit cans of sterno under our seats. Again, he had plenty of snacks and a thermos of hot chocolate for us to drink.
We had countless fish fries at my Grandparents house with the fish he had caught. Him and Pawpaw would fry, talk, laugh and drink beer. Family was important to him and he was always with Debbie and the kids at our Grandparent's house to fry fish, just to hang out and spend the night. I cherish these memories and so sorry he struggled the last few years and his kids had to endure this as well. I am sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Uncle Tom. Love Lori
I work in the nursing home Tom resided at. He was a great guy. He will be missed. I would always talk to him about the Cardinals. He loved his ice cream, chocolate being his favorite. He loved to goof around and laugh. When music was playing or an entertainer was singing Tom would be dancing. He had some moves. One thing Tom enjoyed was men’s club. I would take him and he would always be down for the food I’d serve him and the other men. Tom was also good at making sound affects. When he got excited about something he would start going WOO WOO like the crowds do at a sports game and I’d join in with him and then we would both laugh. Tom was quite the character and things won’t be the same without him. My deepest condolences to Nikki, Lindsey, Mike, and the rest of Tom’s family. Tom is no longer suffering and in a better place. May Tom’s memory be a blessing. May he Rest In Peace. So long buddy.
Our sincere sympathy to Tom's family. Great friend and enjoyed the Viet Nam letters he wrote while serving 🇺🇸. May you rest in peace, Tom.
