Kirsten\\u2019s dad Tom was beloved by his kids and grandkids (one of whom couldn\\u2019t pronounce the letter \\u201cT\\u201d, resulting in the nickname Papa Fom). Tom was a man who loved the simple pleasures in life: playing and winning various games, flying balsa wood planes with his family, joking around, drawing and painting, eating candy, playing \\u201chouse\\u201d and \\u201cschool\\u201d with his grandkids or letting them climb all the way up his body to stand on his shoulders. He really loved the little things and everyday moments were his favorites.
