So sorry to read of Toms death. We were neighbours in Greenhill Road for some years. Both Tom and Rona were the most helpful neighbours one could have. Tom even rescued a terrified me from up a tree that I was pruning (heights not good!). Our sympathies to you all. Such a community spirited man was Tom

Tom was a great neighbour especially to the late Betty Gaskell who was my next door neighbour. He often used to come over for morning tea and he always helped Betty with her tax. A great man. Thank you Tom.
