Uncle Tom was the best son-in-law ever

I have thought that Tom could write a book on how to be the best Son
in Law. When he and Carol were dating he ate food (Cantaloupe and Ice
cream and home made root beer) that mom gave him that made him
physically ill rather that refusing mom's offer. Mom would call over and tell
them she had fried chicken on and Tom would get the family in the car
and travel the 30 miles like it was next door. Tom would always complement and build up mom. I often believed he was the favorite child which is tough when your an in-law.

Tom made a Montana men's fishing trip into a family tradition that
will be relived in memories for years to come. He brought singing,
great food, laughter and an awareness of the family tradition and memories
being formed. Tom filmed great memories of fish caught and losted,
outhouses, pipe bombs, trick horseback riding, D-K's, singing and great
fun.

We feel fortunate to have had Tom as a member of our family he will
be greatly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you,

Love Dee, Kim Smith and family
