Thank you, David, for being the best man at our wedding so many years ago. We will always have those pictures to keep you close. I would also like to thank you for letting all of us know that you were with us at the bayou. Three separates fires all occurring in one night, what are the odds LOL you were probably getting tired of hearing Bones, Chuckles and Tony Wayne telling all their stories and wanted us to know you could hear every word. Rest in peace, until we meet again.

Pat and Gene: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of great loss. You can take solace in the fat that you raised a son who for 47 years enjoyed life and gave you wonderful grandchildren to remind you of him in so many ways. I know your faith will help you during this time of loss - rely on it and family and friends to sustain you. Always, Tommy
