SK Damien says:
“It was honor to join in the ceremony and see brother Tom’s Amazing career. Sense of sadness in the air, but it was great to see how his entire family was honored even down to the very last new baby. Tom and his family captures the essence of a Catholic family. The size, strength and devotion of Tom Beatrice and the children give me great optimism for our country and our Catholic faith. I will be sad to see them go to Nebraska, but I know it’s the next chapter of their wonderful life. people that surround them in Nebraska will have a great opportunity to see all that we have seen and felt by this family. I hope he comes back and helps us with the fish fries if not, we’ll see him on vacation. He mentioned to me that he has trailer hook ups just FYI guys. I’m sure here will require tractor work bailing hay, and the like. So long, Brother, Tom, Fairwinds, and calm seas.”
From SK Randall:
“It truly was a moving ceremony, especially with his daughter, singing the national anthem. “
From Brother Marvin:
“Bravo Zulu Brother Tom! You will surely be missed but not forgotten. Remember that you will always have brothers in Texas.”
