Condolences to the Family

I remember Tom from when we were children. We lived next door to Tom, his dad and his brother until we moved after elementary school. He always had a smile and loved to ride big wheels or bikes with my brother. I remember he picked flowers from the neighbor, Mrs Hermans yard, I think that was her name, and he would give them to my mom. Later I ran into him again when he was playing street hockey. I just remember he was always smiling! He definitely had a gentle soul and a fun loving personality.My most sincere sympathy goes out to his family and everyone that loved him. My prayers are with you.
