"Tom, I loved you like a brother. We shared many great times hunting, fishing, and golfing. We also went through some rough times. I know you are walking the streets of gold. See ya."

I will always remember the ski trip to Colorado with the Grier clan, especially Tom whom my brothers and I affectionately nicknamed "Studly". What a fun time, what a great guy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
