I have treasured memories of Tom...how handsome he was dating Alberta, their wedding day, him fixing us gals great drinks when we visited, and always being a kind and thoughtful human being. The world has lost a very special person but we are all blessed by knowing him. To Alberta and the family/friends, from many miles away, you have friends that care deeply and share your loss. Our deepest sympathy.
