  8. Thinking of you all today, Wayne and family, while I haven’t met Tom, I feel I know him through Wayne and his stories and know that he was a really good Dad, husband and a lovely person to everyone he met.

  9. Sending all of Tom’s extended family my deepest condolances. Tom and Yvonne were very special to my mother Monica Cooper (nee Kennedy), Tom’s aunty. Mum often spoke of their friendship to me, my brother George and sister Clare. There were only a few times when I was able to see Tom in recent years, but they were special ocassions. Tom made everyone feel special, even those who were mostly far away. He was that kind of man.
