Tom was an outgoing person with a funny sense of humor. His amazing laugh could be heard around the block! His wit and smile could cheer up anyone. He was a great listener, and had a huge heart for people that needed him. He loved playing pool, and being with his family and friends. We will be celebrating his life this Sunday the 22nd, 5pm at the Church Of Jesus Christ Of LDS. The address is 12001 Bee Caves Rd Bee Cave, TX. The number is (512) 263-0924. If you are unable to make it, we are going to gather at Frogs on Hudson Bend afterwards.
We want to thank the nurses and doctors at Seton Hospital for taking care of him while he was there. Hospice Austin, The Christopher House, also needs a huge thank you for making him as comfortable as possible, and for helping his family with love and support. The Christopher House has a special group of people working for them! In Lieu of flowers, his children ask that you please donate to the Christopher House instead at 2820 E.
