So sorry to hear that Tom has passed away. It is difficult when we lose a loved one but the hope that Jehovah has promised somehow makes it easier to continue to look forward to a wonderful promise of seeing them once again. Thinking of your family now and will keep you in our prayers.

Sincere sympathy to the Rawlings family. Tom was my “boss”… over 60 yrs. ago…. when he was the accountant for PEARSON MOTORS in Zurich. He was indeed a kind, gentle, and patient man. I was( and still am) a poor bookkeeper. May his soul rest in peace.

Robert, I am so sorry to see of your fathers passing. I saw your mothers notice in February but didn’t put the connection together. I just want you to know I am thinking about you and your family.

Tom was indeed a good athlete. He was the catcher of the Zurich Lumberkings while my husband Don pitched. He also was much appreciated as an accountant. A good man with a quiet demeanor!! My sincere sympathy to all of you!
