Lifelong best friends, John Pinzon, Tom Scheurer, Peter VanderLeer and Tim Perkins.
Tom was a devoted son, brother, uncle and friend. Always caring for Mom and Dad. Never complaining, just doing. He was always willing to lend a helping hand or listen whenever needed. Always very protective, loyal and caring for his family, especially his siblings. He wanted us all to be safe and happy. A man of few words, expressing them in such a large way! Tom was happy if you were happy. He enjoyed cooking and baking. His lasagna, cakes and brownies were not only delicious, but big like Tom’s heart. We will miss his fluffy pancakes, made for weekend morning visits. Being a perfectionist, Tom worked hard at his book binding. Working more than 40 years perfecting his craft. He began right after high school working for Lawyers Co-operative Publishing Co. until 1998. Tom then began working for and learning more about binding from his mentor and great friend, Tim A lasting friendship cherished by both. Eventually, Tom bought the business and New Ridge Bindery was born. All his work done meticulously and by hand… Anything from restoring old Bibles, binding hymnals for churches and thesis work for college students. His work was a combination of love, respect and skill for his craft. He loved repairing the old, as well as creating the new. Tom loved his family and we loved him dearly. Family holidays, weddings, birthdays and all special occasions were so important to Tom. He never missed one! So now, you are in Heaven, at peace, with Mom and Gram. Reunited with all our loved ones that have gone before. Give them all our love. Take long bicycle rides, watch great movies and root for the Buffalo Bills!
