Uncle Tom was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Honestly, he treated me like I was his son every time we visited. When I was 10, I had a 14 year old bully that wanted to beat me up. My Uncle Tom overheard the commotion and put an end to that bully real fast. I’ll never forget that Uncle Tom. It meant the world to me. RIP we all love you very much.
