Condolences for the family of “Thomas G. Petrik”
Dear Janis,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If there’s anything I can assist you with during this time, please let me know.
Fondly,
Erin
Lanis, Janis & Tod
I share in the sadness of Tom’s passing, a great friend of nearly 40 years and a truely unique individual. Our poker group of 45 years will have an empty seat that can never be filled with a participant that could possibly replace the frugality and unorthodox manner of Tom’s poker style. He was the winner at our last “games-of-chance” so I’m certain he is smiling, NO GIGGLING, that he went out on top.
Dear Lanis & Family, Tom was a genuine, made in America, one-of-a-kind guy, and a friend. I, too, will miss him. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. While I, unfortunately, will not be able to attend his service, I will be there in spirit to support you and remember him. As I think about Tom, I am quite sure that he is now grinning down at us from his motorcycle, ATV, or whatever as he searches for a place where he can get a Pepsi.
Janis-
I am really sorry to hear about your father’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your family.
