Tom was my second eldest brother, there was only just over a year between him and l and between him and our older brother Pat, who we only lost 5months ago. The loss of both of them, my childhood tormentors and adult protectors has broken my heart, l cannot imgine my life without them in it.

Tom was a wonderful man and fantastic brother, who loved and was so proud of all his family, Chris, Scott and family and Sarah and family, they were his world and he would have done anything for them. He was a loving and fun grandad to Luke, Emma, Louis and Sam. 

He had a wicked sense of humour and we loved to hear his many tales of life and adventures in the RAF during our many extended family get togethers, at each others homes, holidays in England and abroad. I always felt honoured and blessed when able to spend holidays with him and Chris, with his children and their families, which l did often.

Tom, you are loved and will be greatly missed by so many. You were taken much too soon and had so much more to give. My only consolation is that you and Pat are together again and probably causing havoc in Heaven. 

All my love always,

Gerry xx❤️
