Diane, We just learned of Tom's passing and want to extend our sincere condolences. I know we don't need to mention the special bond between our parents, and of course that extends to us! In fact, we were just reminiscing today about Tebbenhoff Christmas cookies and we still treasure a very special Christmas ornament given to us by your parents for our first Christmas in 1971. The relationship between Harold and Kathryn and Betty and Virgil is a life long friendship we all envy. May Tom rest in peace and may you and Richard know how warmly your family is remembered.

Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your brother being around when I would visit at your home growing up. A lot of fond memories when I go by your childhood home in Belleville. Prayers for you in this time of grief. Kendra (Rhein) Grout-McNutt

Diane Ellet, I am saddened to hear of Tom’s death. My husband, Jim Massey was a long time member of Belleville Kiwanis Club. Jim and Tom were good friends. I knew Tom as well through Dinners, chicken dinners, picnics & the Christmas lot. He will be missed by all in the club. Please accept my sympathy. Betty Massey
