Tom will be greatly missed. We wanted to share a few memories with you. We met Tom several years ago at the Bingham County Transfer Station. We work in the scale house there. He was one of the drivers we looked forward to coming in. He was courteous to other drivers, careful on the scale, friendly, and professional. We had many brief conversations as he signed his ticket at the window. Once in while we gave treats to the drivers and when he got his, he kindly asked for one more so both of his girls could have one. He was thinking of them and not himself. We thought that was cool and that he was a thoughtful dad, since we are mothers and grandmothers. We have to smile every time we think of Tom signing his ticket. He signed it, then looked over the top of his glasses to read it. That was Tom. We are grateful for the opportunity to have been acquainted with him. He will be remembered as one of the nice guys. May the Lord bless and comfort you at this sad time. Sincerely, The Scale House Ladies Mark Stoneberg mark.stoneberg@hotmail.com Sorry to hear about Tom. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
