Thank you Jeff. That was one of the hardest things to watch but I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and how much I will cherish that video.

 I tilt my hat to you my friend for having put such a worthy tribute to our Mr. Tom.
 I so recall the ride we took Mr.Tom and I when that pic was taken, we drove around going where the front of the truck was aimed and we traded words of wisdom as we went along. Stopped at a local sawmil to visite with the owner to whom was unknown to either of us but after the visite we both where welcomed to come back anytime. Tom had a way of making friends with anyone that would come near him.
I so miss my friend.

Jeff, that is the finest video tribute that I've ever watched.  It is worthy of the man. 

You did good, and bless your heart for sharing that with his family, and us.  Thank you!

Yes,we do love Mr Tom. I had to smile a few times through that very nice video. I could just tell there was a story behind some of those pictures and he was having a good time.
Thank you Jeff.

Thank you Jeff.  I was absolutley delighted to see that there was a picture of TomTom with our youngest son, Ben.  Tom was a grandfather to my children. His words on how little boys should be raised echos in my head and is reflected in how they live.

That was an absolutely beautiful truibute and will be cherished here at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Jeff, Thanks for sharing.

It was tough and enjoyable at the same time watching the video slide show.

Had to walk away from the computer a couple of times just to take a break  :'(, the screen definately got blurry a few times.  :'(

I never met Mr Tom, but I knew him.

A wonderful tribute. I only made it halfway through before I had to turn stop it. I'll come back and finish it when my eyes dry out. Thanks, Mr. Jeff.

Jeff that was a big help to me. I actually laughed when I saw Tom with a spoonfull of Vegemite, (our Aussie staple diet) and wondering how the big fella reacted when he tasted it.

Thank you

Tom actually liked the vegemite.  He liked to eat it on toast.  BLECH! :)   He and I had more than one conversation with him trying to explain to me the virtues he saw in it. Tom could see virtue where no one else could.

Especially when it came to food. :D  Tom used to say to me, "I'll eat most anything."  I would reply, "No Tom, you will eat most everything."
