My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tom touched a lot of hearts. I remember Tom when I was a little girl, he would watch me cross the street at the store to turn in my pop bottles for 10 cents, so I could get candy. I then had the pleasure of working with him at Watkins grocery. Never a dull moment when Tom was there. His laughter and jokes brightened not only my day but others that were around. He will be greatly missed!!! Love you Tom!!!!
