One of the funniest memories of Tom is when we went with Lee & Suzanne to Smoke & Fanny’s Anniversary party at their place. Smoke asked me what I wanted to drink and I told him I would like a wine. He comes back with a red solo cup filled to the brim. So full I couldn’t hardly walk without spilling it! Makes me laugh every time I think of that moment! It was always a pleasure stopping by their place on our driving adventures with Lee & Suzanne. Fanny and Smoke were always so welcoming and we so enjoyed our visits with them. They always made us feel like a part of the family. I always loved the random calls from Smoke when he got his cell phone. Always made my day! Smoke was the best! Truly the nicest guy! We are thinking of all of the family during this extremely difficult time. We love you all and are here for you if you need anything. Much love and hugs. Love Todd & Cherie ox
