I'm deeply saddened by the loss of Tom Liktka. He was a friend of mine many years ago when we met at a local hospital in Madison Heights, Michigan. He was always kind and thoughtful to me and my family. He always encouraged me to go forward and excel in my education. I will always have fond memories of Tom.
