You never know about life , here yesterday and gone today.
Thomas Franks Hand passed away yesterday while playing in the snow with his grand children while visiting them in New Jersey.
He lived in New Jersey for his working life and before then down here in Florida when I managed to meet and know him. That action was from me dating his sister and later marring her that's when he became a life long part of our family and will continue to be a part of it.
He loved to joke around and have a good time , no matter how bad things were. I can't verifie this since it has not happen .... yet.... But his Captains fireman's uniform was mailed up to Jersey so he can be buried in it and have a fireman's funeral which any fire department would do for a fireman and especially one of there Captains.
He retired two years ago and came back to where he grew up , he and his wife purchased a home and managed to enjoy a couple of years of relaxing and enjoying life here in Florida. He was really happy since he managed to actually get a Social Security check since he just turned 62.
As I knew him ... Buddy.... was a great person to know , be around and you could always count on having a good time when he was with you , no matter what you were doing.
Buddy we will miss you but you will always be with us.
Your Brother ( in Law ) .... Chuck.
