Uncle Tom will always be a second dad to me. He will always be a father figure not only to his sons and grandson, but to all his nieces and nephews. He taught me to look at every situation in life with a little bit of humor and a whole lot of common sense. He always stood firm in what he knew in his heart to be true and never backed down from the world when anyone tried to tell him otherwise. I will always love you Uncle Tom. Thank you for guiding me through a difficult time in my life. God bless you.
