Tom's Baptism
Dear Tom, Tyke, Norm the Ag and other aliases of which I am
unaware or not appropriate to mention here,
Because you were the first grandchild for Granny and Pa,
there was much anticipation around your birth! You didn’t let us down. What a joy it has been for us to watch you reach 50! I can’t tell you how excited I was, 14 at the time, to be a first-time uncle and God-parent, to a kid named Tyke who had a baby barbell engraved with his name.
The content already posted here seems so accurate…you liked
to dress well…you always liked to laugh, except when behind at Granny and Pa’s poker table, and you shared my love of playing with matches.
You were also a great role model for Joe and Kate. In fact,
Kate spent most of her younger years building great stories to follow your lead.
Fortunately, she didn’t figure out how to replicate the “Scott Monster.” Great
memories…the kinda stuff you are made of.
Thanks for the joy and memories you brought to our
lives!
Happy 50th and Gig’em!
John, Rita, Joe and Kate
