Thomas Delbert 'Del' Clegg

Tom first hired me several years ago to shovel snow and then in the spring and summers to tend to their yard. Each time I would go and work on their yard Tom and I would sit and have conversations about music, movies, family, the community but the subject we most talked about was about the birds that would fly into his yard and his garden of flowers, bushes and trees. I grew very fond of Tom and we became close friends and he always had a smile even though he had health issues he always made me smile and he was always so friendly and caring. The last time I spoke with Tom he asked me if I could help him plant some little trees he had ordered a few years ago that were still sitting in pots on his patio. I asked his partner Marlin if it was okay for me to plant those trees for Tom like I promised him I would and today I did just that and picked out 3 spots in their yard and planted Tom's trees today. Tom will be missed by many and I am happy to say that I am happy to have gotten to know Tom and I will especially miss our talks every time I continue to work on his gardens I will think of him.
