I remember the time when my grandparents tricked me by saying "Wanna go look at some chickens?" And they got me a puppy. Papa was always, always there for me. I remember when I was in high school I texted him lunch from Wendy's and he bought me a kids meal and when I asked why he said "cuz it was the first thing I saw and I was in a hurry." But I still loved it regardless.
Tom was just the BEST. He was an amazing father, husband, and Papa. He was even better than Santa Claus. (Just ask his granddaughter, Carolyn.) He and Donna raised 2 amazing boys. He was always a blessing to us and Carolyn will always be his "Baby Dumpling". Love you, Papa.
