Remembering Tom Sandy and Jim
With loving memories of “Thomas Lee Parent”,
Sending my condolence on the passing of your beloved husband, father, and grandfather.
Tom was a kind, loving and very easy going person. He always had a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. I remember this about him when we golfed, at grandkids birthday parties and their sporting events, at the 4th of July parade and picnic. I guess every time I was with him.
Tom you will be missed, but thanks for the memories.
Jim
Dear Kathy and family,
My name is Mark Votel and I knew Tom when we were fellow employees together at Hartzell Manufacturing. I remember him as a friendly person, a great softball player and a hard worker, may he rest in peace. I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Mark Votel
