July 31, 2021 at 11:17 pmTom was a great neighbor and friend. We will miss our conversations and seeing him. He and Linda were always outside working on keeping their home and yard in perfect condition. Tom was a kind man to our son Jack, always throwing his misplayed balls back over the fence and encouraging him with sports, telling him to always keep his head up! He also was happy to play with our dogs, Cooper and Violet, when we were out for walks or in the yard. Tom was great to talk to and always had a positive outlook. He will be greatly missed.
Our deepest condolences to Linda, Tammy and all his family and friends.
Sincerely- Michael, Angela and Jack McCort
