The sparkle in his eyes, the naughty laugh, the great sense of humor, and the extraordinary kindness will be missed. Tom Johns has been a wonderful friend to our family. Tom was the leader of our neighborhood. He brought people together and enhanced the way we lived. When my daughter was born, he let the neighbors know by hanging a piece of her clothing on the flagpole. He monitored the lava rocks in the beds of his house and the house behind him to make sure that the kids weren't taking them. The park became revitalized when Tom became the President of the homeowners' associatioin. Our neighbors started to use the park again…swimming, tennis, playgrounds, basketball. Tom made our neighborhood "neighborly," as it transitioned from original homeowners to new families moving in. We will miss hearing Tom say, "now, Mama." We will miss the gleam in his eyes and his quirky sense of humor. We will miss the stories. We will miss him in the role of mentor for our kids. We will miss him as our dear friend. Our thoughts are with the family. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful memories. Love, Peggy and Dave Millheiser I hope that Tom and Mei Ling are together, this time having fun.
