Felker family thankful for kind deeds

The family of Tom Felker would like to express our thanks and gratitude to family and friends who sent flowers, cards, gifts, food and a special thanks for all the prayers. We would also like to thank the Greene County fire fighters for their tribute to Tom and Kallie Rehmel for writing this wonderful poem:

Tribute to Tom Felker

by Kallie Rehmel

Tom Felker was a special man

He always had an attitude of "I Can"

He had a family that he did love

Along with his God up above

Tom was very active in the church he did belong

Worshipping fellowshipping and singing a song

In Bible School the kids would have fun

Always keeping Tom on the run

Each year the kids would come in mass

Always wanting to be in his class

Tom and Jerry were a team

Quiet and calm it would seem

But if you would catch them on Bible school night

It was a much different sight

With those kids they would dance and sing

And for each child it was a special thing

Every Sunday each person he would greet

And new people he always loved to meet

A member of Wright Township Volunteer Fire Department was he

And at all the dinners and runs, Tom you would see

He would cook pancakes and peel potatoes and do dishes galore

But he did so much more

He helped for the fire department and enjoyed watching it grow

The grass around the firehouse he would even mow

When those tones would sound

To the firehouse he would bound

He would jump in the tanker and drive to the scene

Ready to help the old, young and teen

Tom loved the fire department with all of his heart

And he made an impression on many of us from the start

In the past few years he became ill

But when he was able he would still help out still

Tom was a person who would help those in need

Negative thoughts he did not heed

We know his family and friends are very sad

But he would not want then to feel bad

I am sure he is up in Heaven watching us all

And now he is well and can once again stand tall

We will always remember Tom for his smiles and cheer

Even though we miss hem and want to shed a tear

He is now in a very special place

And he has that big smile back on his face

Family and friends he loved them one and all

And now he has answered his very last call
