Arrangements entrusted with Sioux Funeral Home of Pine Ridge, SD
May he rest in peace. May his soul and the souls of all the dearly departed rest in peace. My condolences to all the family. Tom came into my auto store in Rushville quite a bit. He was a cool dude and always liked to talk. May he always walk in the sun.
