Tom I didn't get your odd sense of humor at first but I learned to love it and now will miss it and your overalls. I'm greatfull I got to know you and share many laughs mostly at my expense. I wish I could have said this to you when you were alive so now you have taught me a lesson let people know how much they are appreciated.
