On November 17, Tom's family will hold a memorial at the Strathmere United Methodist Church at 11 am, with a luncheon to follow in the Firehouse.

Last winter Tom sat down for an interview for the Strathmere Stories Video Archive project. Here's a rough cut of Part 1. For the remaining four parts, visit our youtube channel, Strathmere Stories.
