I remember your Dad well, he and Ellie were one of a kind. I remember seeing them at Round Hill, there was no mistaking your father, even thought we only me a few times, I said hello to Ellie, he squinted his eyes at me and I introduced myself as friend on Tom & Linda, Ellie quickly vouched for me and he relaxed and gave me a warm smile and FIRM handshake.

Tom and Eleanor have been apart of my whole adult life. They came to so many parties in Alamo. Tom and I would dance on the coffee table to Quantanamero. Why it didn't break always amazed us! All the years we have been in Nevada they would come up several times a year and loved it here!!! Tom was one of the most honorable men I have ever known. I will miss him and I just consider myself lucky to call him my friend and to have been apart of his life!!! Rip Joan Wilder
