Patty, Kathy and Tommy, You all have my heartfelt sympathy regarding your father's demise. I have such wonderful memories of both Uncle Tom and Aunt Audrey, especially when I was growing up. I hope you remember the vacations our families went on together and the time I spent at your home during the summer of 1963. Uncle Tom was a great friend to my father. A frienship that began in the Marine Corps while they were both stationed in China during WW11 and lasted till my father's death in 1986. After that, Uncle Tom still maintained contact with us, visited my mother and went on those golf trips every August. I will miss Uncle Tom, but I will always remember his youthfullness, he almost beat me in Tennis when he was in his late 60's.
Im sure you all heard as neuseum the stories of China and Hawaii and how Uncle Tom danced with Lady Chiang Kai-Shek. Again I am truly sorry for your loss. I will miss him.
