  14. I will miss, Tom. He worked at, Rubbermaid and I knew him there. He was always smiling and laughing

    Tom, was quite a guy. He will be missed by a lot of people…including me. I knew him when we both worked at, Rubbermaid. He could make you feel better with his laugh. I hope, Betty and her two girls are alright…at this difficult time.

  15. Betty, my heartfelt condolences to you and your daughters & the extended family! WhenI bid out of CM – some raised their eyebrows – as if to say: Are you you know what doing? Because Tom was my foreman in ME when I apprenticed under him and Bud H and…. And I was in for an education… Or I could say: He is a man I will never forget. Many fond memories flood in. I was no doubt the least talented in our cohort. But he was very patient… I’m not saying he never flew off the handle if I deserved it. He was always bragged on his daughters… and their exploits at the Sadle Club just a quarter mile down the road from our place in Overton. Of course, “Old Blue”, his blue duelly (Not having a rural background, I had no idea at first what he was talking about.)
    Forgive my
