Our deepest sympathy and condolences
Your Legion Friends, Pete & Patty
I have fond memories of Tom visiting my Mother, Blanche Keenan. Tom was a cousin of my Father, Andrew Keenan.Tom always kept in touch with my Mother througout the years, something that brought a great deal of joy to her. Whenever Tom visited her in Caledonia, she called many of her children to tell us what a nice day it was. My heartfelt sympathy to Mary, Donald, Jack and Richard on the loss of your Father.
I know they are together in Heaven!
Sincerely, Marilyn Keenan Fisher
I just found out today about Uncle Tommy. I will always remember him with fond memories. I haven’t seen him in years since I’ve been in Florida, but he will always be remembered as my fun loving uncle. I hope he is with my Mom, Berniece Arnold, and his family having a lovely reunion.
My deepest sympathy. Diane Carlberg
I volunteer at Edna Tina Wilson Living Center. I was very fond of Tom.He read the newspaper every and knew what was going on. I will miss our visits. My sympathy to the family
Read online of Tommy’s passing, He came along with my Mother- Blanche Keenan and my sister Margie to visit our home in Caledonia where we enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon. He brought much joy to my Mother and was a source of many interesting stories of our father’s family. We are in Florida and will be unable to attend services. With our sincere sympathy, Abe and Mary K. Sickles
The girls and I have many fond memories of their ‘Grandpa Tom’ who they always referred to as their ‘movie star’ grandfather. I will always remember Tom as being a true gentleman and very caring person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Shirley, Cindy, Laurie and Sabrina
