His Life

Tom as a Grandfather

July 26, 2017

by Anne (Mauro) Carrillo
Tom became a grandfather on October 13, 2000 when Joel Jacob Carrillo was born to his eldest daughter, Anne, and her husband, Sergio.  Three years later, he was a grandfather again when Carmen Carrillo was born on February 26.  When they were growing up, Tom would make the hour trip to sing them his birthday song, take them to the zoo or play "Santa" at Christmas time.  He even took the time to teach them the "Shot Doctor" shot!  Going out to eat at I-Hop became a tradition with his visits to Grand Rapids.  He loved them dearly!

Just last year, Tom welcomed another grandson into the world.  Alexander was born on April 7, 2016 to his son, John, and his wife Amber.  He was able to see Alex grow and walk.  He held his precious grandson with gentle arms.  He looked forward to his visits out to Grand Haven when he could.  He was so excited to give Alex a teddy bear that sang.  We love you Grandpa Mauro!
