I miss my friend, his smile, his honesty, our phone calls, and last but not least, the joke Tom would tell at the end of the call. And I am still telling them!

Jane, words cannot express my feelings for Tommy. We worked together for eleven years until his retirement. Then we developed a lasting friendship until his passing. Jane, then our families became bonded at the beach, both is Sandbridge and the Outer Banks. Adrienne once said that you two were the grandparents they got to enjoy. I look at Tom's picture every day.
All my love,
John and Joyce Shevchuk
