OBITUARY

Tom Harrison 1954 – 8-23-2021

Tom and his wife Sunnye have been great supporters of the LGBT Community over the many years. He was a true inspiration to all of us. He will be missed by many.  Here is the obituary the family wrote…

Thomas ‘the luckiest man you ever met’ Harrison returned his atoms to the universe on August 23, 2021. He was born in Kalamazoo Michigan on August 7, 1954 to Richard and Betty Harrison. Tom was a Vietnam era veteran and had a teaching degree from Western Michigan University. While in college he met the love of his life Sunnye (Sharen Whitaker) and they married on August 21, 1982. He was a 35 year partner in Express Press Inc., a printing company that was sold in 2019. Tom was the first President of the Civic Association of Port Tampa City and the first male member of the Port Tampa City Women’s Club. Before his cancer he was very active in the Port Tampa community and was a major force in saving the Commercial Bank building and turning it in to the Port Tampa City Library. Tom was a lovely man and will be greatly missed by his wife Sunnye, children: Liza (Conrad), Ryan (Jeannette), Kaitlyn (Scott), Mollye (Katrina), brother Robert and nephews Justin and Jody. He wanted so much to be here for his grandchildren: Meloney, Kristopher, Kade, Ian, Sofia and Sloan but his cancer decided differently. He also loved his chosen sister Fran Diorio and her son Nick. In Lieu of flowers please make contributions to the Humane Society of Tampa. Tom’s memorial will be at Blount and Curry 605 S. MacDill Ave., Tampa, FL 33609 on October 2, 2021 at 3 PM. Please join us.

You Just Can Not Make This Up

Many people have told us that we have spirits in our home. We have had unexplainable things happen. Nothing bad, just strange. Once we had a big event at our home. It was after midnight and we were down to 6 or 8 people still here. The group was in the living room and enjoying the fireplace. We notice one person was missing.  He was sitting in a chair at the base of the stairs. Rocking with his hands on his head. Then started to speak perfect Spanish. His partner told us that his mother was a famous Psychic Medium in Cuba.  He was a Psychic too and only spoke Spanish when he was in a trance. Without knowing and details in advance what he saw was incredible. He saw many people walking up and down the stairs. Then he saw a man in a black coat who was in charge with anougher older man. The man in charge was talking with two women upstairs. One was kind and sick the other was beautiful and mean to the children. Then he said “Good People live here now” OMG WTF Our friend knew a judge had lived here but he did not know our stairs were from the Hillsborough County Court House. He didn’t know that the Judge had 2 wives. The 1st did pass away and his second wife was mean. In the Judges books he described people as “Good People.” We can only hope he was talking about us.

Congratulation John & Richard

Tampa Pride’s Entertainment Directors tied the knot!!! We are all so very Happy for them!!!

From Facebook…. We have some news to share. WE GOT MARRIED! As you know, COVID made it impossible for us to have the big wedding we planned. While stuck quarantining, we were talking about how we really REALLY  wanted to get married and I thought that we could still actually GET married.  Last Sunday we set up the outside patio for a handful of guests and stayed inside the house with the sliding glass door between us for the ceremony. We used speakerphone to hear each other and my mom and sister got to watch it live through zoom. After the ceremony, we went outside for some photos and socially distanced (with masks), for cake (they cut) and champagne (they poured). It has been a boring week of quarantine, but my husband and I are grateful that we got thru this with each other and are finally legally wed! Much love to you all! ❤️❤️

You Just Can Not Make This Up

Growing up in Minnesota I lived on what we called a hobby farm. My parents both had other jobs and fun farm. We actually had a ZOO!!!  LMAO with horses, cattle, sheep, all kinds of birds, barn cats and dog. As kids we were always rescuing & adopting wild animals too, like fox, rabbits, squirrels & frogs. One summer we rescued a pet racoon and called him Bandit. He loved to play and took up home under our patio deck. Later that summer he meets someone and was gone. Fast forward 30+ years later. One day my Dad called laughing. He said laughing, that he called to apologies to us kids. Remember all the times he yelled at us for losing his tools? He was building a new patio deck and picked up the old deck. There were dozens of tools. Looks like it was Bandit the Racoon had been saving Dads tools!!!
