It is with deepest regrets and sarrow that we lost another Vietnam Veteran. Tom was a LRRP and passed away this evening in Oregon State after a long battle with Lou Gerighs Disease, brought on by his service in Vietnam. He is survived by a lovely wife Rebecca and four grown daughters, two grown sons, four grandsons and one granddaughter.
