Roberta, Robert & Michael, we are beyond devastated to hear of the passing of Tom. Last night we sat around reminiscing about all the good times we had when we were young and Tom spent time at the farm. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers!!! 💕💕. The Husfeldt’s
This is just so hard. My heart goes out to all of you, and on Christmas Day… I did not know Tom as well as I would have liked too. I do know of Michaels deep love and admiration of his dad. I do know of the fine man Michael is and am certain this is in large part due to the love and care he received from both parents but especially his dad. Only a fine man can make another fine man. My favorite story is when Micheal told his dad of his recent “health kick” how he had changed his eating habits for the better and Tom said “you’re not a damn vegan now are you?” From what I know that was very Tom. Hugs and blessings to all of you. I know from losing my dad not long ago you will know and feel his presence when you need it most. Dad’s have a way of continuing to provide. Much Love, Greta Walch

My condolences to the family, I saw Tom last year at the union Christmas party . He joined a group of us old timers at a table, it was good to see him again.I worked at Egan in the sheet metal shop he would stop in and place a order for a job he was running , a lot of welded stainless steel it kept us busy . Tom was in my night school class and was across the bench from me in the shop . Always good advice and willing to give you a hand . Sincerely Jeff Pollard member local 10
