I haven't seen my Uncle Tom too many times since I moved away in my early 20's but the visits I had with him were always memorable. I always really enjoyed spending time with he and my aunt Jan. On one visit we were talking and he said " take time once a month to get away". I don't even remember the conversation but that statement stuck with me. It's so simple but it said so much. It said, take time to step away from the rat race where life is slower and quieter, where you can connect with the people you love and care for, make sure you take the time to enjoy life, remember what matters and create meaningful memories. This is how I interpreted that statement anyway, because of the example I saw before me. This is the way I saw my Uncle living his life. That example is supported by another visit where I brought my soon to be husband to Michigan and we were lucky enough to spend time with my Uncle and Aunt at their place up north. We spent those couple days walking in woods, riding the four-wheelers and sitting around the kitchen table talking. For me, that time was the most memorable part of that trip.That was time well spent, that was time that matters. I am thankful for those memories and for that one sentence from my Uncle Tom that sticks with me. I know he is right. I haven't been successful in living up to his example but at least I have that example.

Tom was the kindest soul you will ever have known on this planet. Now he is in heaven and is the brightest and giving Angel. He will be watching over the love of his life Jan. As well as his sons Rick, Mike and Matt along with their families. Tom was rich in faith and friends. Never heard him speak poorly about anyone. He was the most upbeat and positive person! He always looked on the bright side. He will be missed by all. His beautiful eyes showed his personality. Fly high In heaven, our friend. We will miss seeing you sitting in your chair in the driveway. Love, Bob and Barb.
