Mum (Gay Gallien) just messaged me to inform me of Uncle Tommy's passing. Deepest condolences to you all from me and my family in Northern Ireland.
To the Mason Family.So sorry to hear the passing of Tom. Meet Tom back in 1989 when I joined the H D Court. Tom was such a loyal honest gentleman who taught me the ropes. He was such a neat guy & what a great age he was. Caught up with Tom some time back & had coffee @ his nice little unit in New Ply. My thoughts are with all of the Family as this sad time for you all. Stay strong.
