Pete, Please accept my condolences on the passing of Tom. It is never easy to lose family but you can always keep him close through fond memories of good times you shared. My best memories of Tom were the times he gave me rides in his '67 Vette, showing off how hard it would accelerate. A long time ago, but he always seemed to enjoy life.
