“Too Tall” was a good friend to us over many phases of our lives and will truly be missed. There were many good times shared over Royals and Chiefs games, as well as many trials throughout the years, but one thing was never doubted-Tom and Gloria truly loved each other, no matter what came their way. We hope Gloria and her family can take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering and struggling any more. You are in our prayers and hearts during this difficult time. Much love, Ozzy & Susan
I am so sorry to hear about “Too Tall.” I’ve been gone from the city for almost 10 years and hadn’t even heard he was sick. God bless you Gloria and prayers and comfort to you and the family.
Just so sorry and sad for the family’s loss. Our hearts and prayers are with all of his family at this time. We can’t be there for the services, but we’ll be there in spirit and certainly thinking of all of you. Love to you all.
Hi Maria it seems everywhere there is some dtassier happening and my thoughts were with everyone in Japan too as here in New Zealand we recently had our own dtassier an earthquake in our beautiful city of Christchurch where many lives were lost and many buildings destroyed…they are only buildings but when you are a small country like ours historic buildings are few and far between and we don’t like to see them lost to us……and the Japanese were some of the people who came from all around the world to help us and also for the media coverage… of course now they have had to rush home to their own…..i also understand that we had an english teaching school there and many lost were these japanese students…..such loss everywhere is hard to bear….and in our small country we are all grieving for people known and unknown as everyone knows someone somewhere….really the world reaches out and touches us all no matter where we live and we all feel for people unknown because we are compassionate human beings and understand life and death and what it means to all of us as mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, uncles and auntys, and cousins….we all treasure what we have as a family…..It was interesting to learn that you lived in Japan for awhile….ripples travel the world!!!
