Baldwin Family,

It is with great sadness to hear that Tom has passed on. I'm sorry for your loss! He was a great, intelligent, and caring man. He would do anything for anybody and was a wonderful husband and family man. He spoke of his family often, as he reclined in the chef's office chair when he would come see me at the club and we would shoot the breeze for awhile. I'm really lucky that I was able to know Tom and his family as he will be truly missed.

Sincerely,

Bradford Yearwood
