Tom’s Story

Site created on November 27, 2021

As many of you may know, Tom has been fighting pancreatic cancer for the better part of a year. We just recently learned that the cancer has metastasized and now Tom will be moving into hospice care (Location TBD) for the next couple days to be as comfortable as possible. It has been suggested that he may only have a few days left.

The outpouring of love, calls and and individual acts of kindness has been phenomenal. 

We have set up this caring bridge site to help facilitate updates on Tom’s condition and provide a central spot for caring friends a family to go to show support. 

Tom has friends; lots of friends. Please share this site to anyone you know that wants to share a memory of Tom or a message of hope. While we know that everyone will want to call and talk to Tom or Becky, they would prefer communication and updates to go through this site so they can give mass updates as opposed to calling and texting individually.

Because any good introduction must have a call to action, I thought an assignment would be appropriate. 

Please share a funny story related to Tom or your favorite joke he has told you over the years. 

Your love and support is appreciated through this difficult time.

Brian & Kevin
