while Tom gambled—it reminded me of my life with him. I was always alone. On the way back, we did stop at the Hoover Dam and then went to Scottsdale,AZ to visit my favorite aunt Margie. Then we stopped in Biloxi, Mississippi at the Casino, of course, so he could gamble. We then stopped at Compass Lake and stayed in the cabin for the night. We did have a lovely time. Tom passed away in 2011 and the family had a memorial for him. To give the devil his due,Tom was two people both wonderful and not so wonderful, but mostly unforgettable! So, in heartfelt words, I provided the following memorial message for his memorial book. My ex-husband was the most unforgettable person I ever met. Living with him was quite an experience.There was never a dull moment. He was Mr. Excitement. He never met a person he did not like. He loved people. Tom and I have been friends since I was 17 years old and we maintained a lifetime relationship. First, we were friends, then we fell in love and married… then divorced after 13 years.After a time, we became best friends again. He was personality plus! There was never a dull moment when he was around. He taught me to have confidence in myself and keep a positive outlook. Certainly, he had his faults, but you could not help but love him. I miss him always! Tom always remembered everyone’s birthday with a card, call, gift. He was a first-class guy. Tom was his high school (Dunmore High) football star! He was a promoter of Home Shows, manager of several new car dealerships, owner of a gas station and car lot business, Real Estate Broker/Owner and professional tournament Poker player, and lastly President of the Exhausted Roosters. He was the best salesman I have ever encountered. He lived his life to the fullest and his favorite song was “My Way”
