I worked with Tommy for a few years at GJ Romig and he was always fun to be around and was quite the joker. I learned alot from him and am thankful for the privilege of knowing him.

I feel very thankful we got a chance to spend our time with Tom camping up north. He was a great man that made us laugh and we all enjoyed ourselves around the fire. Our fun times with him will be in our memories always.
Love Kyle Knotowicz
