TOM JENKINS
June 23, 2004
TOM JENKINS Tom Jenkins, husband, father, grandfather and master craftsman, passed away on June 20, 2004 at his home in Cloverdale. He is survived by his wife Pam, sister Valerie, his son Matt, his daughters, Niki and Jennifer, and his granddaughter Brooke. He was our diamond in the rough having a keen intellect and sophistication under his various hats and a warm and sincere love filling out his suspenders. We knew he was contemplating a new challenge when he thoughtfully scratched his beard. He was always teaching those around him in the wisdom of "Blacksmithing 101". Tom always worked hard and loved fully. He was a genuine spirit and always open with his heart and the home that he built with his best friend Pam. A celebration of his life will take place at 785 Cloverdale Rd. on Thursday, June 24 at 2:00 p.m. The family requests that donations be made to the Diabetes Association in lieu of flowers.
