Dear Joyce and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Tom. He was so much like Ralph, so gentle and everyone loved him. Since we all live in other parts of the U.S., we weren't aware of his passing until Eunice told us today from her Herald.
Our hearts and prayers are with you, and pray he is at peace.
Your old CL friends

"It is wrong to withhold good from those who it is due when it is in the power of your hand to do so.." Proverbs 3-27
Tom was a man's man! Always willing to help and share the wealth of knowledge he had as a carpenter! He was a blessing to
Me! Always sharing what he knew so I could grow and be a better carpenter... Truly a craftsman, the best and one of the most humble men I've ever known... Always giving from the heart...and what can we say about that Great Smile and Spirited Laugh! His smile... Truly a Light if Life... & a laugh that filled a room wherever he was!
Thank you Tom Rooney for sharing your love with all those who were blessed by being touched by the love of your heart...Yep... Your earthly suit may have perished, but your spirit remains in our hearts... Thanks for sharing your blessings...you taught me the right way!!!
