Condolence:
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the recent loss of your dear loved one. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May the God of comfort be with you in this time of sorrow. May these words bring you hope, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) This promise will be fulfilled one day, until then, may all your memories sustain you in the days to come.

Condolence: First I would like to say I'm so very sorry to Althea and the Swan family for there loss. Tom was a wonderful person to my whole family, he took so much time out of his day to come by our house to help my kids learn the Blackhawks music so they would feel more comfortable. Tom also made my parents Jim and Mary Kilcomins so very proud. Tom helped my parents make the Blackhawks become what they are today through his wonderful writing of there music. So thank you Tom Rest in peace. Colleen Norton

May this promise as recorded in Revelation 21:3,4 help you gain the strength and inner peace to cope with the days ahead. Philippians 4:13.

Condolence: My condolences to Althea and the Swan family. Bucky was a true 'character', one of the finest and also one of the last of our wonderful activity. Bucky could drive you crazy one moment and using his great Irish charm have you smiling the next and buying more beer. God rest your soul, Tommy, I am sure the other guys up there are really enjoying your company as we shall miss your joy and happiness here.

Condolence: I offer my deepest condolence to Althea and the Swan Family. I also go back with Tommy to
around 1953-54 with Liberty Bell & St. Joe's.
Such guys as Tommy Martin, Fats Basic, Johnny "Greenteeth" Harrison, Big Jack Werner, Walter "Mousie" on tenor, Carmen C.
on French horn just to mention a few. The Spirit & Camaraderie of those days continued
on through our Sr. Corps playing days as well as the Alumni movements and our daily lives. Thank God that some people never change. Yes Tom. you will be greatly missed,
but your love and legend will live on forever. Take care big guy and help Hy with
that powerful horn line up there with Our Lord, Jesus Christ and pray for us down here on earth. Till we all meet together once again, God Bless.

Condolence: So sorry to here of the passing of another of the "old guard". Bucky will be missed but I'm sure he, Pepe, Butch, Hy, Carmen and "big Jack Werner" will be playing in heaven. RIP buddy.

Condolence: My condolences to Bucky's family. He was my friend, and my teacher for many years. He just had a way of making everything seem easy when you knew it really wasn't. He had a positive effect on so many of us back in the 60's you couldn't even count that many. Later in life, we reconnected & it was just like I had never left. I really loved this man & will miss him. Thanks my friend for all you did for us. you'll always be in my heart.

Condolence: 'Twas a "Swan Song" for the ages.

Amen Brother "Bucky."

Condolence: To the Swan family and Althea. My condolences on the passing of one of drum corps greatest characters.I will have many fond memories about "El Bucko" from the time I joined the Skyliners in the fall of 1969 till the last time I saw "El Bucko" as I called him. He is at peace now but I'm sure God know knows he's in Heaven as there is a drum corps party going on already with many great drum corps people there.
RIP my man. It was a pleasure to know you.

Condolence: We feel so honored to have known Tommy for many years -- As Canadians he embraced us and we shared so many fabulous times together and lots and lots of laughs. He was the glue that kept us coming some years to GAS - it will be so different without him - his legacy is forever etched in our memory.
