Tom, I am truly sorry to hear that your son has passed away, at such a young age; we're just not supposed to live longer than our children. I wish to send my deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family.
I often think of you and the time we all worked together @ Western Gear. I remembered that your son and my daughters, all went to Mariner high school, although they were a couple years behind Mike. I cannot imagine what you are going through, so, again, my sincere and deepest condolences.
