To the Ehret Family.
Our thoughts and prayes are with you at this sad time. Tom was a unique individual with a talent to make race cars go fast and always there to help out his many friends. Tom was wise beyond his years and had the uncanny ability to diagnose and fix cars from his childhood. His many friends in the Cleveland area join me in sending our our prayers in this time of sorrow.
I will miss our weekly phone calls and talk of the good old days.
