I will never forget Tom playing accordion for SAI service projects at nursing homes. The residents' faces would light up the minute he started to play. He will be missed.

Dad and Max had a special relationship. While it didn't last as long as any of us would have liked, I'll never forget how excited he was to play with Max, read him a book or watch Lion Guard with him. He was a great dad, grandfather and husband. We will never forget all he did for all of us. Max now has another guardian angel to watch over him!!
