Today the Earth is a lonelier, less happy place because our friend Tom McGrath is no longer with us. Today, Heaven is full of wit and laughter because our friend Tom is there, bringing smiles to his friends, old and new.
We first met Tom nearly 25 years ago [on a golf course, believe it or not]. Tom had lost a piece of golfing equipment on the course and enlisted me and the two 10-year-old girls I had with me to look for it. We did find it and we found a new, very special friend in Tom McGrath. As a bonus, Tom took us to his home to meet one of the loveliest and lovable persons you will ever know, his wife Patricia. Since then, Tom and Pat have made our many trips from Indiana to Florida extra special to look forward to because of them.
Even though Tom was my senior by 9 years, he often gave me lessons on the tennis court and of course, the golf course. His putter shaved many strokes off his score card. Tom delighted in telling the best jokes and could tell them so well, I always would go back home to Indiana with new joke material, but I couldn’t tell them nearly as well as he did . The other crafts person in his family, of course, was Pat. Her craftsmanship when it came to sewing is fantastic and she was a big member of the McGrath selling machine team.
Pat; Doris & I and our whole family wish you the best in this time of bereavement that we all share. We hope to see you soon and if we can do anything to be of help, now or forever, please let us know and we will make it happen. Our Love to you and your whole family,
Doris, Bob, Susan’s family and Frank Benhower's family
