Rest in Peace Tom. You are in a far better (Heaven) place now. My most sincere condolences to Fredda and the rest of the family. As is it said in John 14, verses 1 thru 4: 1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” As for Fredda and the family : as it is written is John 14, verse 27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless!

Fredda and family, I met Tom & Fredda some years ago at the Calvert Marine Museum while working at the beer trailers for the concerts. Tom & Fredda worked on one side of the trailer while I was on the other. Tom immediately made an impression on me and gained a soft spot in my heart. Each time I worked a concert I thought of Fredda & Tom and looked forward to seeing and working with them again. I so enjoyed spending a evening with them and getting to know them and sharing a joke or two. I grew to truly love Tom. He had been on my mind this year and I was wondering how he was doing. My husband Todd and I are so very sad to hear of Tom’s passing. He was a wonderful man and we will miss him dearly. Other members of our beer trailer group also send their condolences, Kathi, Steve and Candi also send warm wishes & love for your family.
