On behalf of the Briers, our heartfelt condolences to the Howley family. Tom was such a good friend to our parents. All of us enjoyed his wit and appreciated his many kindnesses. As Patrick said, “Tom Howley was a fine man.” He was indeed. Our best to you all.
Tom, Karen, Susan and Laurie,
We are so sorry to hear about the death of your father. He and your mother were wonderful people and so very good to our family. They welcomed us to their home so many times and made us feel like real family members. Our kids, Elizabeth and Charlie, loved having them as “adopted grandparents.” You certainly hit the jackpot with having Tom and Marion for parents. We are happy to know that they are together again and we are very grateful to have had all of you in our lives.
