I worked with Tom and John during the General Foods and Quaker Oats era at the pet food plant. Lot's of memories drinking a cold beer or two after a hard day at work. Tom was always willing to help you out if you needed help. John, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of need.

Just heard the sad and shocking news. Such a gentle soul taken from us far too soon. We are so glad we had this time together on Earth to know you, Tom. We will never forget the fun times and talks we had. In heaven you will finally have a chance to ask Carl Sagan which is larger, the galaxy or the universe; you'll be right there among the stars to solve the mystery we had so much fun discussing. We will never forget your warm, friendly smile and gentle manner. Thanks for the memories, rest in peace, my friend.
