Cathy,
I was very sorry to hear the news about Tom. I have been trying to contact you for a few years now. I cannot believe what I heard today. Tom was a great person and one that I admired and looked up to for so many years now. I learned so much from him at Industrial Aluminum. He was a very intelligent, funny and generous man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will cherish his memory always and I hope God will comfort you at this time and will help to ease your sorrow.
