Jeff - Would you please help me.... I was Tom's 'adopted' daughter. I am here at the house with Gael helping to prepare for the funeral. We'd like to show a memorial dvd of tom at the viewing tomorrow and I'd like to include any pictures that anyone on the forum had of him.

Can you get the word out that I am looking for ANY pictures that anyone would be willing to share of Tom out in the woods or at events around the states that show him doing what he loved. I would appreciate it very much. Pictures can be emailed to me at hagafamfl@aol.com

DanG has the funeral arrangements and should be posting them today.... Gael and Tom's family will be receiving guests after the graveside service at my home just across the street from the VA Cemetary at 3628 Lannie Road.

Thank you for your help, I have not yet learned how to post to the site. - Allison Haga

I've tried to collect as many photos as I could this afternoon to get down to Allison. It's made for a tough afternoon for me. I'll try and put into words what Mr. Tom has meant to me, but today I just can't do it. I took some of the photos I brought together and made a little slide show from them for the forum.

I posted this as the description on youtube along with the video. I hope the images help people that look at them understand what a man my friend Mr. Tom was.

When ever I called him, I would say "Hello Mr. Tom" I was told that in the south that was a sign of respect to add the Mr., and I respected no man more than Tom Cadenhead. I'm not much for words in times like these, but I'm missing my friend horribly today. We didn't get a chance to talk much the last few weeks, but I got to talk to him a couple days before he died, and will treasure the rest of my life, the things we were able to say to each other that last conversation. The music selection for the clips was chosen because of Tom's love of Music, and especially Chet Atkins.

Sometimes there are no words Jeff. We still know what you mean. I never got a chance to meet Tom. Still lost a member of the family.

Well done Mr. Jeff.

The world is not quite as bright as it was a few days ago, seeing those pictures brings a smile to my face but makes my heart ache.

I watched it with my eyes brimming with tears.

Beautiful job, Jeff!

ADAMINMO · October 25, 2011, 08:15:13 PM

Excellent job Jeff!! HAd to watch it 2 times due to the fact that the 2nd half was really blurry. Sure miss ole Mr. Tom!!

Bibbyman · October 25, 2011, 08:33:09 PM

Beautiful job Jeff. I made it through it but it was tough. I feel privileged that there was a picture of us setting together.

I was also glad to see some pictures of Tom and his old Wood-Mizer and the picture of Tom and Don Laskowski.

Probably most all the newer members know Tom with his big blue Baker mill. But Tom was an early owner of a Wood-Mizer and a million board foot club member. As Tom told me, he had sawn a million board feet but didn't have it documented. So he just started over and sawed another million!

Here is his name on the wall at Wood-Mizer in Indy.

Mr. Jeff,

Thank you.

Not only can you tell the worth of the man by all the comments over the last day, but now you can tell the worth of at least one good friend. I can't imagine a more fitting tribute to Tom, you should be very proud because I know he is, excellent job Jeff.
