Just learned the news about Tom today. God bless and keep you Tom! The last time I saw you was probably at Peggy's service - I believe I was there - and definitely at the service for your son Tom! God bless and be with all of you at this difficult time! Jock Bethune American Airlines
Jock Bethune, April 3, 2020 We're so going to miss you, Dad. You have been an exemplary example of what it means to be a true gentleman. You were always willing to help anyone who needed it, even if they didn't ask. You were always more than willing to share a story or two (or more) about your time at American Airlines. You loved to share a good joke or even a bad one. You were full of energy and curiosity and loved to learn new things. Your tenacity for delving into the family ancestry was inspiring and I bet you finally know where the Plaxco family came from. You were a part of the greatest generation. You cared, provided for and protected your wife and family. It was what men of your generation did. It was a duty and an honor you took seriously. Your steadfast care of mom in your home until you physically couldn't any longer was a phenomenal act of love and devotion. I remember Tommy Trey telling me he never remembered hearing you pray out loud. Even so, I could see in your heart that you knew who the Lord is and what He was in your life. And I remember so clearly the last few months your saying a few times that the Lord must have been watching out for you in this or that situation. I saw a lot of you in Tommy Trey. Gentle, kind, funny, smart and a righter of wrongs. My most cherished memory of you is when you told me a few years ago, long after Tommy Trey was gone, that you were glad I had married your son. I always felt like I was part of the family but it so touched my heart to hear you say that. You were a second dad to me. I'm glad I got to be a part of your family for almost 30 years. I'll see you on the other side, Dad. You'll have to tell me where the Plaxco family came from. Francine, April 10, 2018 We enjoyed Tom and Peggy at Country View Lane and Tom was a great story teller. He told such interesting stories about American Airlines. We will miss him and we believe he is now with Peggy in Heaven. Such good people! We were blessed to have known them both.
