Thank you Reese. We love you.
I called him “Dad”. Growing up a few houses down from the Grigsby Family was an honor. Tom was like a second dad to me especially after my own dad passed away. I remember him working on the yard and tending to the trees in their backyard. He was a patient man. As teenagers, Sara and I would always get into some kind of trouble or mishap; there was always some mood or whim we would try to fill — sandwiches from Bara’s Liquors, driving in the Levitz parking lot. Tom never batted an eye and showed endless patience with us. (Course, we had patience with him as we sat in the gray station wagon going 45 mph on the freeway. :)) He was a gentle spirit who loved his family, showed kindness and patience, and worked diligently (from caring for his trees in the yard or working faithfully through the years). I will love and miss him.
Our daddy
