It was my privilege to have Tom as my friend for so many years. He will be greatly missed and I am thankful I have such great memories to get through this loss. Working with him these last few years was a pleasure and he will always be in our hearts. I will also miss his great sense of humor and talking with him about politics. We will never forget you Tom.
