Sending hugs, love and support from the Gallagher Family-Marci, Bill, Liam, Brody and Aidan.
Without Tom’s coaching in the kitchen,I would never have been the cook I am. He was always ready with a big hug. A girl couldn’t ask for a better brother in law. His stories and recipes will be greatly missed.

To the Anderson Family,
Tom was such a special man. I had the honor of this man being a part of my life many, many years back. Tom was my father-in-law until such time as his son and I parted ways. He was truly a great man. Some of my fondest memories were being at his dinner table when he made his famous fish from his latest catch of the day. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Tom , had lives that where enriched because of it. Lori Anderson
Mary, Preston, Tim, Michelle and family~
I don’t need to tell you how special a guy Tom was cause I know you know that! He was a sweet man. Such a character. Like an Uncle. He was always there. Always had a hug and kiss for me. I enjoyed sitting with him and chatting away. I will miss him dearly. May your memories comfort you.
