Thomas A. "T-bone" Laubenthal

Message from Butch Radabaugh

Although I haven't been in touch with you, T-bone, I was saddened when I heard of your passing. I remember you as the ornery gentle-giant of a man that always said hello and put a smile on my face. Everyone will surely miss you. I pray for your family and friends in their loss. I hope we meet again on the other side.

Words are lost in how I can express my sympathies
Tom was a gentle giant, protecting and led by example. He was more than a cousin but also a friend. Always kind words and actions. I have many fond memories of not only Tom but the whole family
Hugs to all especially aunt Alvera

We will miss t-bone at the lake. He loved it up there, and was a friend to everyone. He is at rest now after a terrible year.

When I moved from Leipsic to Ottawa 39 years ago, after I married John, I knew Tom as a nice and cordial man. Then, when John and I got a place up at Coldwater Lake, MI, we got to know Tom -- T-Bone -- better at the Moose Lodge in Fremont. Tom was such a great, fun, funny and interesting guy to talk to...and he would always be willing to visit with anyone. He was so enjoyable to visit with....which this continued on when I visited with him at the Leipsic and Ottawa Meadows. Tom was sitting up in his chair at the Meadows, ready for the next visitor! Thank you, Tom -- T-Bone -- for this great experience in getting to know you... TOM -- ENJOY being in HEAVEN, and as I told you, ""Go to Jesus" -- was that not the right choice!?? Have a great time with all of the Angels and Saints in Heaven!! :) :) :) Please send us the beautiful birds to our Ohio and Michigan Homes, like I asked you...Thank You, Tom!!
