Linda,
My brother, Hugh ( in Oklahoma) reads the Springfield Daily News and saw Tom's obituary & emailed it to me. Rush lives in St. Louis, MO. My husband and I are in New Zealand where we have been since Feb. 2020. At long last, we feel safe enough and will return to Ohio mid August.
I long remember that my late father enjoyed his friendship with Tom! I always enjoyed his laughter.
In great sympathy and love to you & yours,
Joan
