What a menace! He was my favorite menace! We called each other menace as an endearing term. How that got started 20 plus years ago, who knows. We have done business for those 20 years together but more importantly we did life together. I will miss him very much but know I will see him again in paradise someday. God bless you Tom and God Bless you Bev and the entire family. He was not just a good man but a GREAT MAN and dear friend. Love you!
