I would be remiss to say that both Tom and Ruth were our friends, Sue and Jim Phillips. Are hearts are happy that Tom is now free of the shackles of his earthly body, and we will see I’m at the Resurrection. Jim and Sue

Tom and Ruth were the unselfish inseparable couple that moved their family and friends. For me, Tom I was amazed at Tom’s Depth of friends! It seems that his Happy Warrior spirit was evident in all he did. Regardless of where we went, Tom and Ruth were known. I know how touched Tom was to go to Medugoria or EWTN, or his work with the Servants of Charity, and KofC 4th Degree, he was invested. He loved his wife and was proud of his children. Final note, when Tom worked at Dunning, I would Drive to the dealership, so that we could ride together. God has recalled one of his Saints. May the Lord, tenderly watch over Ruth and the Burch Clan! Amen.

Ruth, So sorry to hear about Tom. Although I have been away from Manchester for several years, it doesn't dim my memory of Tom's smile and warm personality. My heart goes out to you and your family. Sending my love and prayers for God to bring peace and blessings to each of you. - Arlene Wolf

Tom had a good heart, a good sense of humor. Trips to Manchester (from Jackson) were always a pleasure for us Kirk kids. In middle age I realized Tom had more of my Dad's humor and easy-going ways than I did. He must have got his laugh from his Mom, our Aunt Florence. Prayers and condolences to Ruth and the rest of the family.
Love,
Steve Kirk

Ruth, so sorry to read about Tom’s passing. He often gave me rides from Toyota service department to work at U of M and back. He was so friendly - we had some nice conversations when he knew you and I had worked together at JCI. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time
